Day 326B

Christmas Eve...part 2
Well, the kids were enjoying their time with Papa & Meme so much that time got away from us. For some reason I had it stuck in my head that the candlelight service was at 8:00 and wouldn't you know, it was at 7:00...doh! Obviously, we didn't make it which was a real bummer, but we did carry on with our Christmas Eve family traditions. First, we drove around the neighborhood enjoying all the lights on our neighbors' homes.

Then we went back home and opened one gift each. I had to post this one of M because it was so funny. She was desperate to open this gift even though she was warned it may not be as exciting as she was thinking it would be. I think the look on her face gives it away! After presents, it was time for...
A toasty fire (whether the weather calls for it or not) and hot chocolate while snuggling up to watch...
The Polar Express! Once that is over, it is time for bed so mommy & daddy can get to work.
Mission Accomplished. T even set a booby trap so we would know if the kids snuck a peek.
And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care...
