Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we always have breakfast with Santa.  This year we went to Millenial Falls for it.  It was fun, although, they were a little slow getting our breakfast out so we snacked on fruit, bagels, & hot cocoa.  An elf came around and made all of the kids a balloon animal/figure of their choice then Santa came around to greet the kids.  They sang some songs then the kids got their faces painted.  After we got our breakfast and ate the kids lined up to sit on Santa's lap.  I had to leave early with Paxton (my mom kept Macie) since he was up with a croupe cough all night.  After waiting in the doctor's office for an hour we got a steroid and he felt better within hours. 
For Christmas eve night, since my dad's family no longer gets together, we were planning to go see the lights downtown, but we got a HUGE snowstorm throughout the day so we wimped out!  Instead, we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, drove around to look at lights, then came home and read Christmas books and watched Christmas movies.  It was nice and relaxing.  Paxton went to bed at a decent time, but Macie was way too excited for Santa and it took her almost 2 hours to go to sleep!





Paxton was playing on my mom's phone when Santa came around and Pax wouldn't even look up.  Santa took the phone away and that didn't help since he already doesn't like Santa!




 
The kids' gingerbread houses...we forgot cookies and milk so we left these out for Santa to snack on as well as some cupcakes.
