We had a huge snow storm roll in right before Christmas this year. So big in fact that it left thousands without power, school was cancelled for 2 whole days, and even Steve didn't have to go into work one day due to blizzard conditions. Of course the boys were in heaven....and spent all afternoon playing outside. There is something magical about having a white Christmas, so we were all very happy to have it come right before the holiday.
Poor little pink powder puff marshmallow!!
She wasn't a fan
Christmas Eve this year, we stuck to our annual traditions. We went out to Texas Roadhouse for dinner that night then went to see the Jolly Holiday Light's downtown. We have done this for several years now, and the kids just love it.
And of course make and decorate sugar cookies for Santa and Jovie our Elf .
After we get home from dinner and the lights, we have a little program and read the Nativity together, and the kids each get to open up one present.....which is always new Christmas jammies.
Then comes my favorite part of the whole day!
Setting up presents around the tree, final preparations and last minute touches to get ready for Christmas morning. Steve and I sat up for about 45 minutes Christmas Eve night just staring at the tree and lights.
And then the magic begins.....
