Christmas Eve was an eventful day. We were able to get some things done around the house during the day before the evening came. The kids also were able to sprinkle their Christmas Dust on the lawn so Santa would be able to find them that night. Vanessa has been asking me everyday since she got it from Santa if she could sprinkle it on the lawn. Finally the wait was over and she was so excited! Owen had fun throwing it all over the lawn for a few seconds and then asked me if he could just dump it all out. It was pretty funny.


In the evening, we headed over to have dinner with Mark's family. We enjoyed a nice dinner with them and had fun playing games and just talking. We also were able to make our traditional cookies for Santa. Vanessa and Owen had so much fun making their own cookies. Owen was super excited when Grandma pulled out the dinosaur cookie cutters. He couldn't get enough of them. When it came to frosting his cookies, he took over the green frosting. Vanessa had a little too much fun when it came to frosting her cookies. She was hoping that Santa really liked frosting and sprinkles.

The kids also were able to open up their Christmas Eve presents which were some pajamas and their Christmas pillowcases. Owen got his very own this year and loved that it was green and had Santa on it. We were able to get the kids home and set out their cookies and milk for Santa. Vanessa was excited to leave Santa some cookies and to have him eat hers.
