Christmas Eve

I know these are all late...but due to a recent learning that we will be extending our family by one in august i have been a little pre-occupied...but doing better and going to try to catch up!

In preparation for Christmas....a few days before Christmas eve, Adey and I tackled some cookie dough making which was quite fun and then on Christmas eve we made the cookies and let them cool while Josh was at work so they would be ready to ice that night for SANTA to eat with his glass of lactose free milk (we left carrots for his reindeers) ...she is such a little chef and we love it about her and how she always wants to help!

We went and picked up Josh/daddy from work and when we got home we had snack type foods for dinner and then ICED our cookies which was quite adventurous....

2 from each of us for Santa....hope he likes them

Then we opened our Christmas Eve presents which is always fun...we have a tradition to always do new pajama's...plus a small something extra this year!

a new Christmas book

Doggy PJ's that say "doggy eyes work every time"

Then we sat together as a family while Josh read us the book and then we brushed our teeth, washed our face and hands, and snuggled in bed waiting for Santa to come!

cute book...Josh read these books as a kid and wanted to continue the tradition with our little family

sporting her PJ's....she is so adorable!

One of the best parts of all......santa came and spoiled us this year....

our stockings filled with goodies...guess we were good this year!

and he left Adey a dollhouse and a bag full of presents...she was really good in his eyes! (just kidding)
