Christmas Eve '17

Christmas Eve was on a Sunday this year, so we woke nice and early, got all pretty and enjoyed a one hour special meeting in which our dad actually sat with US. It was an unexpected Christmas miracle.

Then we headed home where our kids impatiently counted the seconds until they could open new pjs and we could do our usual "Watch-the-polar-express-while-eating-cinnamon-buns-and-drinking-hot-chocolate."

How we ended up with this tradition, I'm not quite sure, but you'll be happy to know I only dozed off once or twice during the movie.

Because, you know, hot chocolate makes me sleepy. It's not like it's a boring movie or anything.

ANYWAY!

Pyjama time:


They're the best.


Cookies for Mr. Claus:

Each child painstakingly created a special cookie for Santa. 
Can you guess which is from who??

Of course you can.


The stash:



Ah... magical.

Bring on the squealing children.
