Christmas Eve

One of our Christmas traditions is to open new pajamas on Christmas Eve so that we will look oh so sharp in those early morning pictures come Christmas morning. Steve does not like to wear any type of clothing until it has been washed first but for this tradition he does make an exception. I remember the first few years we did this I washed his pajamas before I wrapped them but now he does not get such royal treatment. ;)Lucas loved his Spiderman cartoon p.j.s and Landon just sort of wondered why I would ever bother wrapping such a boring gift. I know he will grow to love this tradition as much as the rest of us.Christmas Eve we also let the boys unwrap one gift that is from mom and dad that we choose. It seems to make up for having to unwrap boring p.j.s. Thankfully Lucas loved the Nightcrawler Marvel Hero that mom and dad ordered from e-Bay because we were not about to ship it back to China where it was mailed from. We did not know it was coming from China but that sure would explain the shipping charge. ;)
Landon loved his Hot Wheels Stealth Rides remote control vehicle and had to get a little lecture on sharing when he would not let mom have a turn. Christmas Eve night we went to our friends Angi, Bart, Mia and Deja's house where we got to roast marshmallows in their back yard and make smores. Then we headed over to Uncle Chris' house for dinner, snacks, drinks and good 'ol family fun. Lucas is always so excited to see Aunt Ang's boys - Zack and Tyler and Landon just kept wanting to go and look at their snake. We called it an early night because mom and dad still had some things to do before the big morning and we weren't sure what time the boys would wake up.YEAH!!! Santa came to our house and left lots of presents!
Santa also ate all the cookies we left him, drank the milk and then remembered to fill our stockings.
