Christmas Eve is full of traditions for our family!
First up, making cookies for Santa. The kids are always hesitant to dig into the flour and roll out the dough and make a mess. But once they are in it, they love it!!
During lunch, Nate's tooth fell out! It has been loose for awhile but I didn't think it was that close to falling out! (Sidenote: I think this is the *first* time he has not cried when a tooth came out! Just took getting to tooth #14 :)
My cuties before Christmas Eve Children's Mass....
Abby opted out of the Children's Mass this year, but Nate still wanted to take part and be one of the three kings. He helped to bring up the gifts at mass and did a great job :)
My favorite Christmas Eve tradition is our pizza picnic in front of the tree for dinner! I have fond memories of these picnics from my childhood :)
Greg reading the kids the Christmas story....
Abby wanted to write the letter to Santa this year and ask for him to finish up the construction in front of our neighborhood. Ha!
The kids love having a sleepover in Nate's room on Christmas Eve night, but for once, Nate asked if Abby could sleep on an air mattress. He is getting too big (literally) for Abby to share a bed with him! Abby happily obliged, as long as she got to be in Nate's room :)
