After going and seeing Star Wars we got home and took treats to all of the kids church teachers and then got right to our Christmas Eve festivities....
We started with opening PJ's. This year I just got the boys "comfy clothes" which they were thrilled with! I was so excited to see Reese in her American Girl jammies which of course came with a matching pair for her doll. We then got in the car and hit Starbucks for hot chocolate to drink as we drove through the Thanksgiving Point Lights. After we got home we had a nice little fancy dinner and fondue dessert.
We started a new tradition this year that I absolutely loved. 12 days before Christmas Dakota wrapped up 12 Christmas books that we have collected over the years (most are from Scott's mom). Each night we opened and read a book. Dakota especially was always so excited to open a book each night and it always brought a good spirit into our home.
After opening our final book the boys set out cookies and were off to bed. Surprisingly they fell asleep pretty quick and Scott and I didn't have to stay up too late!
