Christmas Eve

 Our Christmas Eve is typically the same each year and this year was no different.   Donuts waiting for the girls when they wake up, finishing the last of the chocolate advent calendar, decorating gingerbread houses and making their reindeer food.   This year it started raining out of no where while the girls were decorating their gingerbread houses and they both ran outside with excitement, it's the little things around here.  Their houses came out sooooo good this year even if Kayla was and made the biggest mess this year while frosting it.  She cracked herself up the whole time and I voluntarily ignored her and the mess she made because I had a ton of other things that needed to get done.   Our dinner was delicious as always and we opened a special bottle of wine for Chris and I to enjoy while the girls enjoyed their own fruity drink.  After dinner we watched A Charlie Brown Christmas and then the girls took their showers.  After showers we were all back on the couch to watch Christmas Vacation.  Chris and I usually watch this favorite on Christmas Eve when the girls are in bed but this year we decided they could join us and they loved it.   After the movie was over Chris read, T'was the Night Before Christmas to the girls.   The cookies were then set out for Santa and the reindeer food was sprinkled on the lawn.  Goodbyes were said to Elfie and one last peek was made to see how close Santa was to California before the girls were tucked into their beds.
