Christmas Eve!!






This Christmas Eve was a fun one. It started out going to say hi to Josh's parents, we just stayed there for about an hour because they were getting ready for a party. Then we went my parents house as we do every year it is tradition. We eat appitizers and hang out. This year my dad decided to make sushi, and it was yummy. He always goes above and beyond at any gathering with food. After we ate, we let our kids open one present that always consisit of PJ's and slippers, that is another tradition as it is many's. This year my mom was so cute and went and got all of her girls matching pj's we looked to cute in them. She always thinking of somethine fun and new. After all that excitment, I made raindeer food with the kids, which is just oats and glitter. You put it in the food processor and it is that easy. Then the kids sprinkle it on the front lawn and it is sparkling so that Santa and the raindeer can see your house. The kids love doing it, and it is a fun and easy tradition. We of course came home after that and put kids to bed. Which is not to hard on Christmas Eve because Santa won't come until your asleep. Another really easy thing to get my kids to do is clean. Santa does not come unless your room is clean, I know sounds horrible, but it only works once a year and why not right. They even helped me mop the kitchen floor earlier that day.

P.S. Bella has paint on her face because she asked Josh that day if he would paint a kitty on her face and of couse how could he say no. It was so cute,and she loved it.

I love the pictures. So cute. Your family is adorable. I wish I was your sister. Ask your mom if she will adopt me. It doesn't hurt to ask right.
