Christmas Eve is finally here! We began our day with snow! It was icy and a bit snowy, but that did not stop us from going out and visiting our Grandparents and wishing them a Merry Christmas! First, we made chocolate chip cookies since Santa told us that was his favorite. Then, we made our way to Grandma Pat's House and then Grandma Marci's. They were both excited to see us, we think. We wanted to drop in and make it a Christmas surprise, but decided next year we will call first.
After arriving home, I finished making the cookies, then onto making an "Angel" cake for Jesus' Birthday tomorrow. We skipped naps today just because time got away from us. The kids played downstairs before getting ready for the 5PM Mass at Saint Columbkille in Papillion.
We arrived at about 3:50 through thick snow, parking close to the door, and finding a suitable seat. It filled in quickly after we arrived, so we were glad we arrived so early. The kids were amazing, watching the people and listening to stories that I read them. The Mass was wonderful, too. After Mass, it was quite cold and snowy. We made it up and quickly changed into warm jammies.
We finished our 7 days of WHAT GOD WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS (which I highly recommend). The kids have really gotten excited about the Christmas story this year thanks to this books and gifts that go along with the book. It is a great learning tool for kids.
The kiddos then got their cookies ready for Santa, listened to "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and were tucked into bed. Everyone was quite tired and ready for bed (myself included).
Now...to wait for Santa! Merry Christmas!!
