After sprinkling reindeer food all around the front lawn, the kids came back inside and were ready to open their traditional Christmas Eve gift.
By now, they know that there are always new pajamas in the boxes but they do not know exactly what they will look like. And, I always hold my breath a little hoping that they like them and that they fit. I can proudly say that they were all winners this year!
We all watched a movie together, then Jimmy picked out cookies and filled a mug of milk for Santa before everyone retired to their beds ... waiting in anticipation for Christmas morning to come.
The kids were not up quite as early as they used to be on Christmas morning, but they were still ready to open presents long before the sun came up.
Stockings are always first!
These two seem to always be right next to one another in whatever activity we do. And I would like to note that Jimmy looks like he is still a bit sleepy. Ha!
New work gloves were on Jack's Christmas list. The hatchet was NOT, but Steve knew that he would like it. I guess that he was right.
A small, cordless vacuum so that she can keep her vehicle clean.
The Detroit Lions have had an EPIC football season and we are excited to see how far they go into the playoffs!
I might have teared up a bit listening to him read the letter left behind from Santa.
For years, Santa has brought him a new stuffed hedgehog for his hedgehog family. They always have a name (all starting with 'H') and this was the last one to complete the full family.
Please allow me to formally introduce you to Henrietta:
Jack received his beloved (and much wished for!) Air Jordan shoes.
Later, we celebrated with family at our house and ended the evening picking up LOTS of wrapping paper while James strategically placed all of his new football trading cards in his binder.
Here's to a great year to 2025!
