"Twas the night before Christmas"

This year we spent Christmas Eve with Derek, Krystal and the kids. We couldn't be more excited to have them living so close now! We were very happy to celebrate Christmas with this bunch!

Christmas Eve marshmallow roasting

Trying to adjust to a little smoke and fire rather than the cold and snow? I think that these two could be trouble together...

After dinner, playing, eating, roasting and goodbyes it was time to get ready for Santa's arrival.

We made sure to throw our special "reindeer food" sent by Santa himself, on the lawn.

And put out the milk, cookies and carrots for Santa and the reindeer.

And with everything in place, the kids in bed, we were ready

For the Jolly man himself!
