Christmas Eve is a very special day for us filled with lots of traditions. I always like to get the kids dressed up for when Grandma and Grandpa Sanders come over.
We started the morning making reindeer food so Santa would not be the only one with a snack!

Then it was time for Grandma and Grandpa. Once again they out did themselves. They always put so much love and thought into their gifts.
It was so cute to watch Austin open his presents. He got it 100% this year and was very into it!
Kelly got lots of princess stuff this year. She was one happy little girl!
Sleeping Beauty was her favorite gift of the day. After everything was opened she had to go get dressed up to put on her new Sleeping Beauty jewelry.
Proud Mommy moment, Austin must have said thank you at least a hundred times and had to give lots of love.
Poor Kelly started to get sick before Grandma and Grandpa left, but Grandma always makes her feel better.
After dinner we went and put the food out for the reindeer.
And while the cookies cooled, Daddy read our annual Christmas Eve bedtime story, The Night Before Christmas.
This year we left Santa milk and chocolate milk because Kelly wanted to leave him her favorite too. They also wrote Santa a note thanking him for their gifts and for Chippey.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads
