Christmas Eve

 Christmas Eve is one of our favorite days of the year. Normally we'd spend it with family but this year it was just us. We facetimed with our Kilgore family  but otherwise we went to our church's Christmas Eve service at 4, then came home and had our "Journey to the Manger" dinner.



I set up the tripod to take the picture above and the boys were my test subjects before they got dressed to make sure I had it set and ready for our family picture....what goofballs :)








When we got home from church we set out all the food we'd gathered on our Journey to the Manger....cheese, cured meats, flat bread, olives, grapes, etc. This is by far one of the kids favorite traditions. 






We put out reindeer food, grinch dust, cookies for santa, carrots and candy canes for the reindeer....whew, we were now prepared!


We checked where Santa was on the Santa Tracker....



Then we all got ready to be nestled in our beds for a long winters nap :) Levi and Katelyn had a really hard time going to sleep due to all their excitement!!
