Christmas Eve

We are so ready for Christmas this year. The house is clean. The presents are bought, wrapped and ready to be ripped open. Today is a day for us to have fun together.

Rich spent all morning baking. Yes, our roles are reversed in our home. He LOVES to bake the goodies every year, and he does an excellent job.

After the cooking extravaganza we hooked up our trailer and did a Christmas Eve sleigh ride with friends from our neighborhood. Next year we will have to have hot choclate and Christmas music.

When our sleigh ride came to an end, we quickly got ready and headed over to our friends house, the Blauers. We ate dinner with them and the kids played games. Karin is a good cook, and everything was delicious!! The kids couldn't hardly stand the wait for Christmas, so after dinner we headed home and had dessert with our other friends the Nazloos. The kids made reindeer food and spread it all over the yard, so the reindeers could find their way to our house of course. When everyone was gone and the kids in their jammies. Rich read the Christmas story. By this time the kids were done! They just wanted to get to their beds and lay awake thinking of ways to capture Santa Clause.

Today was wonderful, being with our little family and our friends. Those are the best things to have for Christmas.

P.S. Unfortunately my camera decided to crash today. During the hay ride to be exact. The worst day on earth to lose your camera, so I don't have too many pictures.
