"I'm not a girl. I don't wear pink pajama's"

Christmas Eve is always so fun. This year we did our big Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve so we would not be in the kitchen all day on Christmas cooking. Our Christmas Eve traditions were extra special this year cause Nana and Papa were here to share them with us.
Here are some pictures of the kids decorating cookies for Santa. Nana had fun helping the kids make a mess. Hehe :)

Here are the kids in their Christmas Jammies. They always open two presents. One is from Mom and Dad which is usually pajamas and this year, slippers. Then they open their sibling gift. They buy one sibling a present. This year, Landon bought for Aliya. Grant bought for Landon and Aliya bought for Grant. It is so fun for them and they love giving a special gift to their brother or sister. When they get older they will choose names and it will be secret. I love how traditions can carry on through the generations. Neal and I have tried to use as many traditions from our childhood as we could. I think that's what kids remember most about the holidays.

Sprinkling reindeer dust. The reindeer have to see our house and have something good to eat.
