Christmas Eve

I really like Christmas. It is such a fun and happy time. OK it is a little stressful and full of running around and buying too many things we don't need. But in truth it is such a wonderful time to be close to the ones you love and remember what the season is all about.
We had fun making a gingerbread house.
Our tradition is to open one present on Christmas eve. Maddie choose a gift from aunt Megan. Daddy put it together and both of the kids had a great time playing in the tunnels.
Maddie and I made cookies for Santa. Maddie wanted to make sure that the reindeer had a snack too. It is such a magical time for kids. I sometimes wish that we could keep some of that make believe world just a little longer.
