Christmas Eve

We had a great Christmas Eve this year! We went to the grocery store together to buy everything we needed to make Jesus a Happy Birthday Cake. This was Ann Alyse's idea and she was so proud to help make it. We made lots of cookies and pies and snack foods to eat that night. Then, Ann Alyse and Avery opened their Christmas pajamas - one pair for Christmas eve and one pair for Christmas night. They enjoyed tracking Santa on the computer with Daddy and writing a note for Santa and leaving him pie, cookies and milk. Ann Alyse couldn't wait to go to bed because she knew that Santa wouldn't come unless she was in bed asleep. She kept rushing through everything so she could go to bed. A once in a lifetime experience!

All smiles making the cake for Baby Jesus.

Sweet creation from all of us!

Ann Alyse doesn't know which one she wants to wear first!

Together under the tree - now let's hurry to bed so Santa can come!

Writing Santa a note - what a note it was, too!
