The Big Christmas Eve/Day Post
This post was supposed to be blogged yesterday but I decided to watch a movie with my love instead! So here we go. Christmas eve was just lovely. We let the kids open some of their gifts so it wouldn’t be so overwhelming on Christmas day. It’s better for everyone if we do that!
Dad and Jacob got the same gift from Stahr Mam and Pappy John…this year’s Hess truck…
When it was time to get ready for bed, the kids did a quick check on where Santa was (noradsanta.org)
and set out a plate of cookies, a plate of carrots, a bowl of reindeer food, and a cup of milk which Santa and his reindeer made a big mess of…
The kids also put letters out for Santa and he replied with his letter like he does every year. Mazie had the honor of reading Santa’s letter this year…
This was the before picture…
I didn’t take an after because anyone who has children or has seen children open gifts knows what that looks like! And Santa was busy collecting the paper scraps anyway. So it was relatively tidy during the whole process.
Isn’t he a handsome Santa?
The kids were pretty pleased with all their gifts this year. everyone went way overboard, as usual!
We had a fun Christmas day. We relaxed, tried out all our gifts, relaxed, had a yummy brisket dinner, relaxed, ate lots of cookies and even played with a few…
Jacob decided to put on a puppet show with one of the gingerbread pops. It ended with him biting more off of his head…
The End!

I love the one of Mazie reading the letter cause she has her arm around Jacob. And I love Jacob’s truck! Fisher got a crane from Santa, too!
It looks like you had a wonderful Christmas! Happy New Year!
