I
love Christmas Eve! I am loving the traditions we have started with the kids too. Here are the ornaments for this year...
The back is super cute too. It has their names & the year listed.
We do four gifts for Christmas - Something you want. Something you need. Something to wear. Something to read. We also do stocking stuffers. Although this year I am super excited about this surprise I made for Nolin & Harris. I'm thinking I should add "Something handmade" to our yearly gifts. :)
The kids open most of their gifts on Christmas morning. But we always open a family gift on Christmas Eve. It is always something that we can do together. This year, we have two family gifts, b/c Mommy & Daddy both bought one.
 |
| The first family gift was a fun set of playstix, so we can build together. |
 |
| The second family gift was an awesome tent! |
 |
| Of course we put it up so we could enjoy some family camping. |
 |
| Nolin got pretty comfy. |
 |
| Pretty sure Harris enjoyed it too! |
We planned to camp out together as a family (in the house) on Christmas night. That lasted about 20 minutes. LOL
 |
| Two of these Markham's don't look sleepy! :P |
Before we opened our family gifts on Christmas Eve, we had some fun decorating (& eating) Christmas cookies.
 |
| Mommy made a snowman too! |
 |
| We had a few tragedies with the cookies. Harris thought he should try each one! |
 |
| Nolin mostly enjoyed licking the frosting! |
Another fun Christmas Eve activity we enjoyed was playing in the snow! Since we didn't have any real snow, we made our own with baking soda & shaving cream. It was really fun to play in! Do you want to build a snowman??
We had a wonderful Christmas Eve & we hope you did as well!
