Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve I set out some cookies for Santa.  I also put out some oats for the reindeer.  But I also decided they needed carrots.  I decided that I also needed a carrot.
We were downstairs playing when there was a knock at the door.....
.... it was Santa!  He came to visit again!
He brought me the game Hi-Ho-Cherry-o's.  I was very excited to see him.
We then set out our gifts into piles.  I was excited about that too.  I kept yelling, "Oh Yeah!  Oh Yeah! Go Nathan, go Nathan!"



We did a little program.  I told everyone about Baby Jesus.

I was very dramatic about it.  But I did a great job.
After Jillian and Brady were done playing the guitar and piano, I played a song for everyone.

Gingerbread Houses

 On the 24th we made gingerbread houses.  It is another fun tradition that we do!

 I always have fun sampling the candy.

Bowling

 We went bowling.  The goal was to beat Grandma Caylinn, but nobody did.


Sugar Pancakes

 Grandma and Grandpa made our traditional Christmas Eve breakfast of sugar pancakes.  It is one of my favorite traditions.
