Christmas Eve

This year we switched things up and went to my aunt and uncle's Christmas Eve party in the evening.  That mean doing our little traditions earlier in the day, which ended up working out well because Daxton fell asleep on the way home from the party.

First up was the nativity.  Daxton and Maylee had both just gotten out of the bath and were grumpy so they weren't cooperating with dressing up.  That meant we had a naked Joseph and Mary.  Mikayla was more than willing to dress up, of course, so our angel looked super fancy.

Christmas jammies and sibling gift swap was next.  The girls got Elsa nightgowns and felt pretty marvelous in them.

And then the party with family was last on the agenda.  We did a nativity again and Maylee was an angry wiseman who stole baby Jesus from Mary.  It happens.

My Grandma and Grandpa made all of these little olive penguins. They were adorable!

Our kids didn't fall asleep until after 11 that night.  We were dying!  We survived though and Santa still found a way to come so we woke up to magic the next morning.
