Christmas Eve (The Second Day of Christmas...)

on christmas eve we made reindeer cookies for santa and got to

 use the cookie plate and mug my grandmother gave us last year.

then we opened presents with josh's dad's side of the family

(or should i say wes opened all the presents).

we also visited josh's grandparents house that night too,

but sadly didn't manage to take any pictures so there's

 no evidence of the AH-MAZING cannolis his grandpa made.

....later, we came home,

set out carrots for the reindeer and read the night before christmas

and finally(!) after the boys were asleep

we got to be busy elves, filling stockings and setting out presents.

christmas eve is, hands down, the best night of the year to be a parent.
