Merry Christmas Eve!

 Christmas Eve is one of our favorite nights of the year. The boys love getting cookies ready for Santa and reindeer food ready for the reindeer. We do our Christmas with Rah Rah on Christmas Eve too. Christmas Eve is also the night we all open our stockings!! Santa leaves the boys empty stockings with their gifts on Christmas morning. 

The boys worked hard on making the cookies perfect for Santa!! Sure hope Santa likes lots of icing!!  

Cade got a Blake Griffin jersey from Rah Rah. He was really excited about that! Rah Rah also made each boy a blanket!! They are so neat!! Cade's is Star Wars!

 Chance got some wooden blocks to add to the ones we have so he can build bigger and better things!! He loves to create things! Chance got a Super Man blanket made by Rah Rah too!
