Christmas Eve

After heading to our second trip to the chiropractor (Bryan hurt his back the day before), we came home to get ready for Santa's arrival. It was a different Christmas Eve than ever before. We usually celebrate with Bryan's family, but they were all getting over being sick and couldn't get it together. We had our own family Christmas Eve. We made cookies for Santa using the cookie mix that Brylee gave us. We had breakfast for dinner, and then made a foam gingerbread house. The kids were also enjoying sharing their last minutes with Ralphie & Christopher, the elves. They were preparing for their trip back to the North Pole. Bryan's mom felt well enough to bring the children's gifts over. They had fun opening gifts and got some really good gifts. Brylee got a LaLaLoopsy Doll, games, Bitty Baby clothes, a Tinkerbell doll that you can decorate her wings, a tutu skirt, and more. Brant got a Tech Deck ramp with boards and money, which he really wanted. Bryan's cousin, Melanie (a.k.a. Mel Mel) also dropped by to see them just for a minute. After all the excitement, it was a little challenging to get them to settle down for Santa. They finally fell asleep watching "The Christmas Story" in our room.
