We decided to get Santa's cookies and the reindeer carrots set out before we left for our family party. Cole was excited to leave them, but from Ellie's face it seems she was a little nervous that we were inviting a big fat man and his animals into our house :)
We celebrated Christmas Eve with the Green family this year. Even though my parents are on a mission, all of the kids still got together at Brendan & Marli's house.
We had a night full of family, food and fun!!
After dinner we played the rip and rollin' tape game. Cole and Ellie had a hard time getting doubles, but when they did Daddy was ready to help them rip some good stuff off:
After the game we had a talent show on their stage. The little kids got really into it and didn't want their turn to be over:
And some of the big kids got into it too:
Yes, that is my big brother and nephew doing a jumprope routine...and I am proud :)
Cole impressed everyone with his garbage truck skills and Ellie danced the night away for everyone :)
After the talent show we opened cousin gifts:
Then we got in our jammies and headed home to bed so Santa could come!!
It was a perfect Christmas Eve!
