Christmas Eve

This year we went to Jacqui's on Christmas Eve night. Bryce worked 10 hours that day, so we kind of just hung around. Cooper and I watched the DVD, "Joy to the World", about the birth of the Savior. It was a nice reminder about the true meaning of Christmas. I decided to make a birthday cake so the kids could sing to Jesus and celebrate His birth. We ate a gourmet dinner made up of hotdogs and chips. I celebrated by drinking lots of Dr. Pepper (in fact so much that I couldn't fall asleep until 2:30 am).

Our favorite elf, Jingle Bell, brought the kids pajamas once again. The kids were so excited as they ran through the house looking for the elf. Once they changed into their pajamas, they were pretty wired and excited for Santa to come.
When we got home, Cooper suggested that we get a plate of cookies and milk ready for Santa. We also put carrots out on the front porch and Cooper wrote Santa a letter. After we finished all the preparations, Cooper finally went to bed and he fell asleep quickly.
