Christmas Eve

It has been a very busy week for us. My parents (Nanny and Papaw) came up on Monday. Trent had his school Christmas party on Tuesday. My mom and I have been cooking and preparing for Christmas Eve. This year we decided to do the big meal on Christmas Eve so that we could enjoy playing with the kids on Christmas day. Matt's brother Scott and his parents (Nana and Pop) came up on Christmas Eve.

We sat down to dinner at 5 o'clock. Then Trent and I made cookies for Santa and reindeer food for Rudolph and his buddies.

Then we read the Christmas story from the Bible, and we each opened one gift. Trent had a ball with the gift he opened. It was a marshmallow gun from his Uncle Scott. I am still picking up stale marshmallows. :) Then we put Trent to bed after convincing him that Santa would not come upstairs. He is scared to death of Santa. Overall, it was a great Christmas Eve. ;)
