Christmas Eve 2010

It's the most wonderful time of the year!  Honestly, it really wasn't too Christmas-y around here this year.  And frankly, last week I wasn't feeling in the spirit... especially with Jaxen arriving early and staying in the hospital.  But that's all changed!  I am feeling it now. 

This morning was spent kinda relaxing and cat napping for Mommy and Daddy.  We are still getting used to having Jaxen waking us up every 3 to 4 hours.  But after lunch, the kids and I spent all evening baking and decorating... if that doesn't get you in the spirit, nothing will! 

We made Peanut Butter Blossoms, Sugar Cookies (decorated them too!), and Fudge.  Here's some pictures of the fun we had...

After all the goodies were made, our dinner (homemade chili) was eaten, the dishes were done, the living room was cleaned up and vacuumed - Chloe and Jacob opened their PJ's (Jaxen was sleeping).  They are so excited about tomorrow!  They got a bedtime story, including Jaxen!!

Then it was snack time and bed time.  Once they were asleep, Santa Claus had a lot of assembling to do.  But now it's time for bed, I'm sure the kiddos will have us up early!!!  Until tomorrow. . . goodnight!
