Christmas Eve at our house can be a bit complicated. Abbi spends Christmas Eve with her mom and Christmas day with us. Easy enough right? It would be if Cedar Springs and Traverse City were closer and the weather was better. We weren't entirely sure Clint was going to be able to get her that night but there was just enough of a hole in the storm to let him drive up and back. It was still a yucky drive but they made it. Caelun and I stayed home to make it easier for Clint to concentrate on driving with out a loud little person in the back seat. Caelun even cooperated by taking a second late nap which he never does . It was so late he slept right through Santa dropping off the presents so they were all there when Sissy and daddy walked in the door. It was quite a sight to see. Even though we see the presents Santa left because we are up after he has come and gone we don't open them until Christmas morning. Well except we get to open one present form each other and that is new jammies. That way we look good in all the pictures I take in the morning. We always have home made soup and fresh rolls before we go to bed. If Cae and I are going with them I make it ahead in the crock pot and this time I just had it simmering on the stove. Abbi usually requests bean soup but Clint asked for chicken noodle. Santa sure had lots of snow for that sleigh and I think Rudolf's nose got a work out.
Really I can't open them? What if I just run my car over them? Would that be okay?
Gratuitous cute pose for mommy
Look Santa filled the stockings!
Wow look at everything Santa left!
Yeah Abbi and daddy are home and we can open our jammies!
How do I do this dad?
I got it now!
What if I throw it on the ground- how would that work?
All done right?
Abbi's turn.
Apparently her new socks smell good- I have smelled her old socks and they do not smell good.
Abbi opens another box.
Big smile she must like it!
Yeah she likes them- black with white poka-dots just her style!
Daddy's turn.
No poka-dots for daddy.
Mommy's turn.
No poka-dots for mommy either but Abbi still seems to think that they are cool.
Soft and fuzzy.
Caelun gets into his jammies and has some milk.
Yeah Christmas Eve!
Abbi gets in to her jammies.
And we are off to bed- to all a good night.
