Christmas Eve 2011

Here is a look at our Christmas Eve. It was chaotic and crazy with three little ones, and absolutely perfect. We got started with our festivities around noon. The kids got to open their presents from their grandparents and cousins in New York first. Later in the afternoon, after naps, they got to open presents from their second cousins, and aunts/uncles in SC. They all very quickly got the hang of opening gifts. We made cookies for Santa, and got the reindeer food all ready. It was a fun day.

Grandma and Grandpa sent them these balance bikes, and the two oldest love them!
The stockings were stuffed.

And Santa came! A kitchen and a tool bench, and two sets of tools! Before bed, Buddy "magically" jumped into the chair that's in the boys room. He watched them all night so they wouldn't cry.
A little glimpse of what our crazy life is like, as parents to three little ones.
You can see where Buddy's last place of mischief was- unrolling the toilet paper.

We all got to open a present right before baths. New PAJAMAS!!!
These two stinkers just wanted to get into the cookies.

Bubble bath time!

I hate that Tessa has grumpy camera face in all the pictures, because she is such a happy and outgoing little girl.

Eli once again trying to sneak candy off the gingerbread house.

We went outside to put the food for the reindeer out.
Drake was the only one who "got" it. Eli and Tessa were happy just to run around.

He was so proud to carry it out himself. I don't know when this boy got so BIG.
That's our Christmas Eve!
