Here comes Santa Clause, here comes Santa Clause

What a day! It's been a great Christmas Eve. I was off today and spent the whole day at home with my sweet girl. We made cookies for Santa and wrapped presents for friends and family. We both took a 3 hour nap! Now that she's asleep for the night, I probably won't be able to sleep at all. But... I'm as snug as a bug in a rug, updating the blog and watching The Christmas Story in between. I LOVE that movie. I watch the marathon on TBS every year.

We went to the Moss' for dinner. We've started this Christmas Eve tradition three years ago and it's the best. Hayden loves Tanner and they play so well together. She was so excited about going tonight that she actually threw up a little bit after her bath and peed on the floor in the kitchen before we could get her diaper on (I'm not exaggerating). It was so exciting to see her that excited. I remember getting that excited about going over to a friend's house and Santa coming on Christmas Eve. I remember trying to force myself to sleep so that Santa would come. Oh! and there's nothing like Christmas morning. I want Hayden to be just that excited also!



Tammy had her house decorated beautifully. I wish I were more motivated to decorate, but that will have to wait until next year!

The kids were so excited about the presents under the tree that we went ahead and let them open their presents.





Tanner gave Hayden a cute jacket and hat (Tanner is modeling in the pic above), a Mrs. Potato Head (my favorite) and cute Dora Christams pj's (thanks Aunt Tammy because mama forgot to get her some). Hayden gave Tanner a backpack with his name on it, bath toys, and a book.



For dinner, we had steak, potatoes, garlic bread and salad. Tammy made an awesome blueberry pie which we got to take home. The kids had fishsticks.





"Whoa Aunt Meiling! You're kinda in my personal space!


The night came to an end too fast!





When we got home, Hayden put her Dora PJ's on. Then we made a plate of cookies and sausage balls and a cup of milk for Santa. Hayden, with my help, wrote a little note for Santa also.



Hayden had to make sure the milk was good enough!




A little more of Hayden showing off her new PJ's!






I'm so excited to see what tomorrow has in store for us! Merry Christmas!
