Christmas Eve

After a lovely church service tonight with Grammy and our friend Danna and her daughter Lahna, we came home and had dinner with Grammy. We tried our gingerbread men (not so bad) and opened a few presents. Even Kasey got a present from Grammy! Notice the anticipation on her face...
Christopher opened his stocking from Grammy and found several things, including a tattoo of Lucy the Margate elephant! Of course we had to put it on his hand right away.
When we got Chris ready for bed tonight, Daddy carried on the tradition of Grandpa Eric and read "The Night Before Christmas" to his little man.
I'm not sure how long it took Chris to settle down given the excitement of the evening and the even greater excitement and anticipation of the Big Man tonight. Chris wrote a note to Santa and left him some gingerbread men and carrots for the reindeer. When Chris was securely in his room "Santa" and "Mrs. Clause" proceeded to fill up the bottom of the Christmas tree. We told Buds that he has to wait until the sun comes up before he can come out of his room. Let's see if that holds!
