Christmas Eve oh Christmas Eve how wonderful you are!

We have had a picture perfect day.  I cleaned, and Luke, Ashlyn and Pat did some squirrel hunting.  Then we went and gave out our Christmas goodies to all the neighbors, and played.  Today was about lots of playing.  Then we opened presents from each other.  It was just a wonderful day!  Upstairs is not as clean as I would like it to be for our Santa, but you know what. Who is going to remember that next year? No one but ME!

Luke said something really cute tonight, he sat up on the couch and said you know what mom?  I remember last year putting my trophies under the tree for Santa to see?  Isn't that just cute that he did that and remembered this year?

Oh these are so the times to remember and cherish!

Merry Christmas to all!

Jesus Christ is Born! Amen!



This was not a Christmas present, just wanted to include Ashlyn's new bed!




Aunt Nicole made these hats, one for Ashlyn and one for her baby doll!  So pretty!




Hunting with Dad on Christmas Eve a new tradition.





Cookies for Santa!




Ashlyn cracked me up this year, she was talking to Luke with her eyes!
  It was code for we are going to have fun with this one!




Silly kids they are trashcans, not hats!





Do Reindeer talk?  Santa's reply was Yes.



Thanks to Miss. Stephanie our neighbor who works for the DNR, Reindeer love green beans.  And they make them
fly super fast!  I had to keep filling up the glass because Luke and Ashlyn kept eating them.
Daddy was helping them sign their name to the note to Santa about the Reindeer talking!
