Merry Christmas Eve
This morning the kids slept in a bit. We all needed a goodnight’s sleep. This morning I played a video message from Santa to each kid. It was so cute watching their faces when Santa said their name, age, etc. Santa told Justin he was exceptionally good by being nice this year, and Santa told Nicole she was very good by saying please and thank you. Their faces were priceless watching it in aw. They even reminded Santa what they wanted for Christmas. We ran to Target to return some stuff then walked to Carters. The kids love going into the little farmer’s market and pick out some fruit to eat. When we got home the kids played outside, rode scooters and trikes-little do they know it will be the last time riding trikes. It had been 3 days since bath so they wanted to stay in the bath a really long time. I had to warm up the water 3 times. They played with new squirty Thomas toys they got from grandma/pa for the bath. After bath more fighting. Dad came home and we went to open gym at My Gym. It was empty there-the kids had fun. Dad and Nicole ran to Target as her laptop isn’t working right. Justin and I stayed home and played. We had fun, we read books, played trains, built with blocks. After dinner, we made cookies for Santa. The kids had fun making shapes and putting a ton of sprinkles on. The kiddos left carrots and cookies for Santa and the reindeer. We went upstairs and read Twas The Night Before Christmas. We are not sure if the kiddos get all this. Justin wanted me to sleep in his bed tonight-maybe because he was scared Santa was coming. The kiddos finally went to sleep and we wrapped. Bret and I are going to have Christmas with each other tonight and exchange gifts. Tomorrow it will be way too crazy.
