Christmas Eve

We really had fun this year with Christmas. The kids loved it and we loved being able to spoil our kids and enjoy their fascination and pure genuine joy for Christmas. We didn't get to acting out the nativity which I think could be a lot of fun, but all three kid sets we have were played with constantly and maybe next year they'll be used as nativity figures and not battle soldiers!

Christmas Eve we spent with some very good friends where they spoiled our kids with Webkins (stuffed animals that have a life on line -if you want- where you can feed, clothe and play with your pet animals)














The best pet my kids can have! Weston picked a bug eye chihuahua and Tyler got a horse. Elayna got a really cute lady bug with all the touchy-feely-noisy things babies love! According to the boys, she now has her own ba-ba! Let's just hope that by being about half the size of Tyler's ba-ba, it will be a lot less of a show stopper!

Then we came home and opened our traditional Christmas Eve present - pajamas and as tired as all three kids were they went to bed with no hesitation, aside from a list of questions Weston had about Santa and the process of getting into our house!














John and I then set out to display all the presents in a very Santa like way, ate the cookies, even personalized stocking stuffer's! Then we enjoyed a very relaxing evening -into the early morning watching tv shows on the internet!

We eventually made it to bed, but John had a very hard time sleeping because he was so excited and very early (8:00 maybe!!) he woke me up so we were awake before the boys so we could watch their expressions when they saw the loot! It was so much fun!
