Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Awwwww, Christmas Eve finally arrived!! I love Christmas Eve. I think it's such a magical time and I actually enjoy it more than Christmas which is saying a lot. I just love all of the fun traditions and anticipation that Christmas Eve brings!

Here is Mary and Joseph during our Nativity scene...


The whole crew together! Landon had no interest in being Joseph this year but Nolan filled in nicely. Landon decided he wanted to be a Wise Man. I thought he was busy making a crown to wear but nope, it was a fancy armband instead...because every wise man needs a cool armband!! It was also special to have our own "Baby Jesus" this year too to play the part!

Then we opened pajamas and attempted to get some normal pictures of our crew...well as normal as we can get with four kids 8 and under!!


I love this picture below SO much!!


Then it was time to open up the family game!!


Yeah...Disney Pictopia!! We have played this game several times already and it is a big hit!!

After playing our new family game, we made a treat for Santa and his reindeer, sprinkled reindeer food on the lawn and got in bed. Amazingly all three of the older kids were asleep by 9:30 p.m. (Landon is usually our night owl) so Santa's helpers were able to get a head start on getting everything ready for Christmas morning. Such a fun night!!
