Christmas Eve

After saying goodbye to Buddy we headed over to Peoria to celebrate Christmas Eve with the Mousty's.  We did immediate family presents in the afternoon and then all the aunts and family came over for dinner.  It was a lot of kids and fun!

Goodbye Buddy

Today is the last day that Buddy will be here and the past few years he has left a note allowing the kids to hold him for a few minutes.  He did the same this year!  The kids were so excited but nervous.  They made sure to keep track of the 10 minute timer.  Dillan didn't want to let him go!!!

Cookies

It was time to decorate cookies for santa!  Jaiden was at Rylan's for a sleepover so we kept a few for her to decorate tomorrow.

Elf on a Shelf

We have our very own elf on a shelf!

Minivan Express

We did the minivan express tonight after dinner and drove around looking at Christmas lights.  The kids enjoyed popcorn during their tour and Tyler fell asleep after 10 minutes of driving in the car!
