Christmas Eve

We enjoyed time with family on Christmas Eve. 

I love his eyelashes!

So beautiful!

Waverly watching the festivities with Aunt Lindsay.

A couple of years ago we started the tradition of giving the kids new jammies for Christmas Eve.  They get to open them that night and put them on.  Here they are before opening their pjs. 

Modeling their new pjs.  Notice how they somewhat match (colors and penguins).  That was hard.

 This year Kathryn was really funny about Santa Claus.  She knows the truth about him, but she still hears so much about him that in a sense he's very real to her still as well.  She decided that she needed to put out milk and cookies for him this year for the first time.  She was super cute getting it all together.  She wanted to write a note for him too, and dictated quite the letter, explaining to him about the reindeer food on the front lawn, his choice between a Coke (pictured) and milk that was in the fridge, etc. 

 Santa of course wrote back and enjoyed his treats.
