Christmas Eve

The girls (and us) were exhausted so Saturday morning we didn't get up and moving around until after 10!!! We hung out and Piper just seemed cranky so she and Steve went downstairs to watch a movie while Presley and I made cookies. She was a very good helper and it was so nice to just have this time with her. If both of them would've been helping me, they would've been fighting and I would've been mad so it worked out better this way! She even cleaned off the counter without me asking! :)

And I must say that our cookies were pretty good too! :) After that we hung out some more and then decided to do an early dinner at Texas Roadhouse. They were rather good there and once we got home we decided to decorate cookies!

When there are so many sprinkles on the table, what better way to use them then to put the cookies face down on the sprinkles! Way faster decorating too! 

Once we got that cleaned up, they got to open their gift from us. We did this last year with a Christmas Eve present that has new jammies, popcorn, candy and a new movie! We also got them Adventureland season passes, but that isn't very exciting to open! :)

She was thrilled that their new jammies had matching ones for their dolls!

Family picture time!

 

Another tradition is to let them take a bubble bath in our jet tub. They had so many bubble and so much fun! 

(see that front tooth.....yeah this was the last night she had it!)

They got in their new pj's and got their dolls dressed too! 

Then we had our reindeer food to put out! This is one of the crafts that the library did, oatmeal and glitter and then sprinkle on the yard for Santa's reindeer!

They wanted to open one more present, so they opened their gifts to each other. Presley got Piper a bag that you can color (that girl can color for hours)

and Piper got Presley a Barbie scooter, which was on her list, so she was excited!

They were happy and polite and said thank you! Then we all headed downstairs to watch Finding Dory, eat popcorn and have some chocolate before Santa came! Successful and fun Christmas Eve with just the 4 of us.
