Christmas Eve

It's Christmas Eve, and we are a busy family preparing for Jesus' birthday! Santa will come tonight to celebrate with us too! We plan on heading to the farm for a family Christmas tonight, then back to our house for the big night!

Joseph was Mommy's helper with wrapping presents, he liked the tape the most!

 Making reindeer food, with glitter so Rudolph can see our house at night!

Writing Santa a letter, this was hysterical!!! Joseph made sure to include directions for Santa to get to Sam's house ( pretend friend that has been around over a year!!), to pick up his present! Directions included turn by turn, and "over the water!" Johnathan wanted Santa to remember a bigger "sled" to put his big boy beds in, and told Santa to put them in the backyard if they wouldnt fit inside! Jayne Elizabeth repeated the boys request as her own, but when encourage to state what SHE wanted, it was just a present under the "Tissmas tee." We had to add glitter to the letter to make sure Santa could find it at night too!! :)

Making cupcakes to leave for Santa with his milk. We also will leave a bowl of water for the reindeer. Rudolph should be thankful, the trio wanted to leave the reindeer apple juice in our dog's bowl!

Mommy's Christmas presents!!! These started out as gift ideas, but quickly became pottery that I will treasure forever!!! I think I will serve Easter cupcakes on these platters too!!!
Snowman "footprints"!! Adorable!!!

Rudolph as a footprint, and two handprints!!!! Great idea Jillina! I plan on going and making "custom" pottery every year to add to my new pattern! When they are sixteen they may each have to have their own plate for prints, or maybe just thumbprints by then!!!  I love my kids, Christmas is just as fun as a parent!!!
