Christmas Eve: Santa Clause Is Coming To Town

I seriously can't believe we finally made it to Christmas Eve! I've had issues sleeping through the night due to my excitement for Christmas to come! I even asked if we could celebrate Christmas the morning after we got to Idaho. The day was very relaxed and full of games, lounging, and thinking of Christ. There was also a continuous countdown going on, in my mind, to 7 pm.

 We ate dinner on time so we could clean up and read about the birth of Christ. April prepared for the kids and brought nativity stickers to follow along.

Molly and Liam (or Lee-lam)

After the nativity we met in the smallest room to let loose with a major amount of noise and energy!

Then Anne came home!!

And Santa came!! "I know him!" This is actually the Santa that I grew up with. 

Look in the mirror! Jake knows him too!

 Crew and Dallin got the bells while we sang!

 Santa brought Christmas gifts for everyone. (Pajamas)

Sawyer hid far, far away from Santa. 

I think Santa stopped at a few houses tonight, but Dallin kept on saying, "I have to ask you something. . . " Followed by some random comment. He didn't want Santa to go!

Christmas pajamas!
