Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at Pop and Nana B.G.'s house. It was so great to enjoy the family, especially with B.G. feeling better. After a delicious feast prepared by B.G., it was time to open presents. But Ty wanted to set the mood with a little music on the piano first. And, no, he doesn't know how to play the piano.

After the musical introduction, Ty and Maggie wanted to pass out the presents they had made for everyone. They had made hand print snowman ornaments and edible sand art. They were so excited to have something to give their loved ones on Christmas!

Next,  it was time for the kids to open a few presents. The expressions on Ty and Maggie's faces are signs that they LOVED their presents. They received some books that they had us read repeatedly once we were done opening presents.

We left Pop and Nana B.G.'s to spend the night with Grandmar and Granddad to await the arrival of Santa Claus. We decorated cookies for Santa. Jon and the kids sprinkled magic reindeer food in the grass. Ty and Maggie got to open their traditional Christmas Eve present - matching pajamas. We topped the night off with a Christmas movie. They were so excited that Maggie actually asked to go to bed!
