Merry Christmas Eve.

I love Christmas Eve. Everything about the day seems so magical and special. Having family come together, enjoying homemade traditional food, opening gifts and getting ready for SANTA! I'm feeling very blessed this Christmas.
 


Auntie Linda, Aunt Jess, Whitney and Ethan came over to enjoy some Christmas Eve festivities. Nana, Papa, Papa Ray and Barb joined us too. Auntie made her homemade Kentucky green beans...my FAVORITE! I have to make my mom's Christmas green punch and Papa Ray made my mom's Christmas Rock cookies. My mom is here with us today.


Allie received the remaining Barbies I had from my childhood, a Hatchimal, a Vera Bradly purse and a music stand. Ayden was THRILED to open a snowplow! He also received a marble race, construction set, flannel sheets, tractors and a helicopter drone. Both kiddos also received some Disney themed gifts and gift cards too.



After all the gifts were opened and the cookies were eaten...we got ready for Santa! Ayden made sure to sprinkle his reindeer food in every knnok and cranny on our driveway, sidewalk and porch so the reindeer wouldn't miss our house!

We've been waiting ALL month for the big moment when we FINALLY get to touch Jingle and Belle. How special is it to give your elf a hug and kiss goodbye before they leave for the North Pole. We gave our squeezes and kisses...and placed these two little guys next to the cookies we left for Santa...along with our sacks filled with old toys for other boys and girls. Now we wait....
