ChRiStMaS eVe

Our Christmas Eve started with dinner at the Yeates' home and then the nativity, a visit from Santa, and then PRESENTS! The kids were so excited to give their gifts to their cousins and to see what they got from grandma and grandpa. It was so fun. We then did the tradition of giving new Christmas jammies and setting out cookies for Santa. Annelise & Aaron got to call Santa's sleigh phone 3 times during the day to hear his updates and were so into hearing from him. It was a perfect day.


Seeing Santa one last time for those last minutes wishes...

and another failed attempt to get Cole to warm up to "the big guy"

Children's Nativity...Aaron was a wiseman...that apparently is still seeking the group (since he wouldn't stand for the picture) Annelise was an angel and Cole was a shepherd that was still gathering his sheep (insisting on staying in my lap)
COOKIES FOR SANTA

I love Christmas Eve! Your nativity is so cute. I missed it this year. So, who ate the cookies or did you just put them back in the cookie jar? ;)
