Later that night, we made the traditional preparations for Santa's arrival in Cedar Hill. We set up a plate with Christmas cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. We sprinkled "Reindeer Magic" on the front lawn for the nine of them to enjoy while they waited for Santa to get down the chimney and back to the sleigh. Then it was almost bedtime...
We continued our little tradition of having the girls open ONE present on Christmas Eve. Of course, we choose that present because it is PAJAMAS!! With Auntie Jamie and Phillip spending the holiday with us, they wanted the girls to open one of theirs too, so we said it would be okay. I told Katie my reasoning was that the second present wasn't from us, so it didn't infringe on tradition. ***And yes, before I went to bed, I made sure the fire was out so Santa didn't get any serious burns.
The magic moment of the Christmas Eve pajamas...Landrie could hardly contain her excitement either. Sleepy girl in the swing, must be rough. I wonder if I would sleep that good in that swing?
Nice smiles by all, except for the serious one in the middle. The girls enjoyed spending some time with Auntie Jamie, and her help in making the Christmas cookies!!
