Christmas Eve

Since we were going to have breakfast and open gifts at our house in the morning, then go to Erich's mom's for lunch and then dinner at my parents we {I} decided that we should take pictures by the tree on Christmas Eve so we didn't have to be so rushed on Christmas morning.

Merry Christmas!

After we got our family shot Emi {and then Kenzi} insisted on taking a few pictures too...

 

After pictures it was time to get ready for Santa...

this was the first year we left milk and cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer so it was fun to watch their excitement and care.

Once we thought we were all set, Emi got worried and didn't want Santa coming inside the house...so they moved the treats to the porch.

Then it was off to bed!
