Christmas Eve

The cookies have been eaten...

The stockings were full...
The presents were all wrapped and under the tree.
The girls in their new jammies...

One of my favorite nights of the year is Christmas Eve. We get to have dinner and open presents at Steve's parents house with all of the cousins. The dinner was delicious as usual, gotta love beef brisket. Then it was time to head home to get down to the real fun stuff... Santa! We put the kids to bed and stayed up late getting everything ready for the big day. It really is one of my favorite times with Steve, we do lots of wrapping and lots of eating cookies and candy.
