Christmas Eve 2010

We had an interesting Christmas Eve this year- it was a very "interesting" December in general. Greg had an accident in the van a week before Christmas. We had to jump through a lot of hoops to get the police report and to get a rental van. In the meantime, Greg got sick and we got dumped with snow on Christmas eve. Not wanting to take a sick husband out and infect the whole family or drive my parents borrowed van in the snow, we weren't able to go to Greg's family Christmas party- it ended up getting cancelled anyway. So we stayed home together. Greg started feeling a little better by the afternoon/evening-- or he just faked feeling good to make his wife happy. And we stayed in and did stuff as a family.
Mid-afternoon the UPS guy brought by a Tinkertoy set that I had won off the Scholastic blog!! Logan thought it was Santa, in a big brown suit.

Then we did some family crafting.

Logan made a "birthday cake" for Jesus out of playdough.

We lit the candles and sang. The boys got to open one present- a book to read for bedtime.

Logan was SO excited about Santa coming he could hardly stand it. This was a first for him and it was fun to see him get so into it.
After the boys went to sleep, Santa came!! (Even though we forgot to leave cookies out for him).

Then "Santa" went to bed early because he wasn't feeling so well. :)
