We had a great Christmas Eve. We spent the evening with Robb and Celeste. We ate the traditional Headrick Christmas Eve dinner which was finger foods, and of course shrimp. We stuffed ourselves with yummy food, and then sang some songs, read from the scriptures and acted out the birth of the Savior. Kylie was going to be Mary then became a little shy and opted to be a donkey instead. 
After we wrapped up our scripture reading and story telling we let our kids open a present. They were a little disappointed that it was just pajama's, but ran to put them on so we could go outside to see if we could hear Santa's sleigh bells. We waited about 5 minutes which felt like hours because it was so cold and we heard the bells! The kids were excited and Tanner ran fast back into the house. Kylie on the other had started crying she wasn't so sure about the whole thing. But it sure made the kids want to go home and get to bed so that Santa would come to our house. We got all our things together and headed home, got Santa some cookies and milk and the reindeer some carrots. The kids fell asleep in record time we were all excited for the big day and Jason and I were in bed at 1...not too bad!
