getting ready for santa

I think this is a great pictures of them!

After we got done at Tom and Linda's, we went to the Christmas Eve service at church. Luckily, it didn't last too long and I was able to entertain Makinley with a coloring book. She only got loud once or twice! :-) When we got back home, it was time to open their gifts from me and their daddy. They got new pj's, a robe, and slippers. They were really excited and immediately put them on. Then we set out the cookies we made earlier in the week and poured Santa a cup of milk.

 The kids then talked about which cookie they thought Santa would eat first. He had plenty to choose from!

I thought we would have a really hard time getting the kids to go to sleep because of their excitement. However, neither of them had napped that day, so they both fell asleep easily. With visions of toys dancing in their heads, I'm sure!
