Christmas Eve

About time I updated, huh? I am trying some new photo upload stuff so bare with me while I figure it out-[random photographer sidenote: pretty sure I have to figure out how to better sharpen these pictures but I might play with better pictures first]. First up Christmas Eve. The kids spent the entire day in jammies- both on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day- woo hoo. Our afternoon project was decorating our chocolate cake breakfast.

Before bed, and before we put on our nighttime jammies but while we were still in our daytime jammies, we went outside to spread the Reindeer Chow Justin got at school.
Here is a totally bad picture of them- but they are cute!
We came inside and admired our tree...
Then, taking a page from Becky's book, we put on our matchy jammies. The kids loved them and I have to say they looked so cute.

They were very excited- no surprise there. We moved Justin into Jessica's room so that they could have a sleepover together. We went up to bed early- they insisted. We told them they could talk and read a little. As we left we heard Justin saying, "Turn out the light Jessica!" Marc went up at 8:15 and they were both passed out cold- couldn't believe it.

After Santa came I snuck out and took a few pictures of the loot. Here is Jessica's stocking stuff.
The final present total...
The BIG gift, that Jessica asked for over and over. She was thrilled- can you read the note from Santa? It tells them that even though they both wanted a DS there was only one left on the sleigh, so they have to share it.

Here are Justin's Santa presents. Silly Santa, it seems when he bid on the Rescue Hero items on Ebay he forgot to check the dimensions of these toys AND he bid on two different things at the same time and accidentally acquired them both. Um, yeah this means we have two HUGE rescue hero items. Justin was very excited.

One last pictures before I slipped back in bed :)
I will post Christmas morning pictures next.

Great shots. I love Christmas Eve, it's full of magic.

Kids will be thrilled that the Hannas have a DS to "chat" with. There is a feature on it where you can write messages to other DS's within a 60 ft range or something.

Glad Justin likes the teepee!!
