Merry Christmas Eve!

We had a nice quiet Christmas Eve today. I had to work, so the boys had boy time and finished up some shopping.

When I got home, we dressed up and headed to church. Gavin made a friend (like always) with the lady sitting next to us and ended up on her lap, and when I was holding him and standing and singing, he held his hand out so she held his hand through the song. Quite the charmer!

Then we headed home and made dinner and Christmas sugar cookies for Santa.

Gavin got to open his gift...a recordable storybook from Hallmark. We chose a Mickey Mouse Christmas book and he of course loved it...Mickey and books are his two favorite things. We also sent one for Paige to open, Frosty the Snowman.

We all opened our new Christmas jammies. Steve got "Christmas Story" pants, I got "Ho Ho Ho" pants (Steve lovingly picked them out:) and Gavin's are matching Santa jammies. Gavin was sooo excited to open presents and was so good about not opening any more than we said he could.

We watched a few classics, White Christmas, Christmas Vacation and Gavin's new favorite, the Grinch.

After Gavin went to bed, Santas helpers got to work and put together Gavin's new tricycle and wrapped all the "Santa gifts" and filled the stockings!

Our dog Charlie got to see what Santa got him...a new bed. He snuggled right in!

We made some cookies, milk and carrot remnants and put our elf Buddy away for the year. All set for the morning!

Merry Christmas everyone, lots more pics to come tomorrow!
