Christmas Eve was a very busy day for us this year, for we had many places to go. We started our journey at 11am as we gathered presents and ourselves in the car and headed to Grandma's house for lunch. From Grandma's house, Branden and I headed home to finish up some last minute Christmas wrapping (while Ian went to Mawmaw's), so our child would not be disappointed on Christmas morning. After wrapping gifts, we gathered more presents and loaded ourselves back into the car and headed to my mom's house. We exhanged presents, and scurried to get to Kim's house by 5:30 for dinner. We were accompanied by my little brother, Nathan at Kim's house (so Mom could finish her Christmas shopping). Once we were all stuffed from dinner, we exchanged gifts once more. Whew! Finally, we headed home for bath and pajama time. Once our bedtime rituals were complete, we put out reindeer food on the front porch and walkway, and milk and cookies on the coffee table for Santa Claus. While Ian was sleeping, Santa's elves were hard at work making sure that all of the toys were put together and in place for the surprise on Christmas morning.
BTW- The elves realized that "cheaper is not always better" while putting together Ian's kitchen this year!
