Christmas eve was at Aunt Bea and Uncle Rob's house as it always is.Before we leave for the evening the kids sprinkle reindeer food ( oatmeal, glitter, and carrots) in the front yard because the reindeer will be starving of course! Once we arrive at Rob and Bea's, we eat an enormous amount of delicious food and enjoy the family chaos. The kids gather in a large circle on the kitchen floor and open their gifts together. This year we started with the littlest kids first since the turkey wasn't quite ready to eat.....Uncle Rob makes the BEST deep fried turkey! As you can imagine the kitchen was then filled with lots of toys and wrapping paper! It was great practice for what was to come on Christmas morning.
We got home really late this year....10ish and the kids were excited and exhausted all at the same time. They chose a few cookies to put out for Santa, I filled his glass with milk, and to bed they went!!
Christmas morning came and mommy, daddy, and Auntie were all awake before the kids....I am always just as excited as the kids! The kids finally woke up around 8 so we called nana and papa to join us in opening gifts and eating breakfast. The kids loved all the gifts they received and enjoyed playing all morning. Veda is really into dolls this year and received alot of them. Grayson was excited to receive lots of spiderman toys and Grant was happy with wrapping paper! Although he did receive a few infant toys that he enjoys!
