Christmas Eve was one of the best days we had as a family. Everyone slept in and got some good sleep, we played outside, anticipation and excitement was everywhere, Beckham and I took a walk, we attended Christmas Eve Childrens service at our church, had a nice dinner out, looked at cmas lights, opened presents, prepared cookies for Santa and oatmeal for the reindeer, and everyone was in bed early. The whole day was just calm, relaxing, celebrating...all the things I would want with my kids the day before Christmas. Such a blessing to experience Christmas with these two. I pray that these moments will last for awhile!
We choose a great restaurant each Christmas Eve. This year it was Cheesecake Factory
We opened gifts on Christmas Eve night from our family. Charlee Kate got a trip to disney world in January...along with plenty of "Disney goodies". I was so excited for her to open this!
Who knew that reindeer needed oatmeal with sparkles!
Charlee Kate set up her place for Santa very carefully.
She also helped to set and prepare the table for Christmas breakfast. She took her time to prepare it very special! This little girl has such a big heart
Christmas morning excitement
Santa did come! Our kids get 3 gifts from Santa...for several reasons. The original idea was 3 gifts like baby Jesus received 3 gifts from the wise men. The other thought..."Santa" doesn't get all the credit for giving all the good things, mommy and daddy give them lots too 😂
Out of all these wonderful things...CK played with her little shopkins most and Beckham loved the spinning Elf candy pop. You never know what will be a child's favorite
She loved her new slippers from The Macs
2 days after Christmas...church was laid back. It was pajama, donut, coffee day and one service
