Christmas Eve starts off with a special breakfast treat waiting for us when we wake up and after some time enjoying the slow morning I get to work prepping all of the food for Christmas day as well as our lasagna for our Christmas Eve dinner. The girls were playing all morning and I received a text that there was a gift waiting for Brooklyn by the front door so I sent her to grab it. She was excited to see that her bestie had left her something to open and loved her knew colored pencils and poem book and got to writing right away while I finished cooking and cleaning up the kitchen.
After lunch the girls ate the last of their advent calendar chocolates and when daddy got home from work they got started on their gingerbread houses.
Chris and I poured a little treat to enjoy while we watched the girls decorate.
Eventually they were done and I was excited to display them because they turned out so cute.
Chris and the girls surprised me with a gift that they insisted I opened right away. I told them I should wait until Christmas morning but they persisted so I opened my Christmas eve gift and saw the cutest pair of socks that are almost to cute to wear and a pitcher that matched my Christmas Eve plates I had found a few weeks back.
I was thrilled to use it to set our dinner table but first the girls had to make their reindeer food.
I love these plates!!
While waiting for dinner I painted my nails while everyone else played a game.
After the game there was some reading and writing in their bedrooms.
Before dinner our favorite champagne was opened
and then it was time to eat!
Santa was being tracked here and there throughout the entire day and night
After dinner was done the girls were ready to open their Christmas Eve gift
A simple and fun game they can play and take whenever we travel. They have been playing with them a lot since so this gift was a win!
Eventually it was time to shower and get those Christmas Eve pj's on so we could all watch A Charlie Brown Christmas followed by daddy reading T'was the Night Before Christmas.
We couldn't forget the cookies for Santa, Brooklyn was quite upset that I didn't have a carrot for the reindeer this year.
After the girls tossed the reindeer food around the front lawn they were snuggled in their beds ready to fall fast asleep. We said our good nights and then poured ourselves the rest of the champagne to enjoy while we watched Christmas Vacation before we ourselves headed to bed.
Santa was on his way and we couldn't wait to see what he might leave behind.

Apply a moisturizer that is light before putting a fake tan on your skin. A fake tan will collect on spots of your skin that are dry. satta king

You can think of all your stocks as the interest for a company you actually own, you don't want to think of stocks as something meaningless to you.satta king
There are many reasons to drink water. When you're not drinking enough water, sodium can build up. This can cause you to retain water, producing excess cellulite. Drinking plenty of water can remedy this and keep your skin hydrated, cutting down on cellulite.
