'twas the night befor Christmas...

Awe Christmas eve, the most exciting night of any kids life!! We did the normal this year. After spending most of the day with cousins we came home and made cookies for Santa and had dinner then watched a Christmas movie as a family.  We let the kids open one present and then got the cookies and thank you cards all ready for Santa and his helpers.  It was a fun, relaxing night.

Waiting patiently for the go ahead to open their one present while dang mom has to snap pictures :)

Cowboy boot slippers.. can it get any better than that?

Maybe.. Sparkley hello kitty slippers.

Or spider man for Caden

And camo for Briggs.

Watching a movie in their slippers with the doors open to the fireplace to get the real feel of Christmas.  I love it. Family together, popcorn, snuggling on the couch and the warmth of the fire and the crackling sound it makes. The smell, the look.  Right about now I was thinking how much I love my family and I love my life!
