 AFTER

 Grandma reading all of them the story

Their matching bears and stories
 Sophie watching to see if she was on Santa's good list or not
 Connor was more nervous then she was
 Anticipation

She made the GOOD list
 Connor's turn
He made the good list too!
 Connor was the most nervous for Sadie - he was positive she wasn't going to make the good list:) it was so funny to watch!
But she made it
 The kids Christmas Pj's
Milk and Cookies for Santa
Dad reading them their favorite Christmas story
They have to sleep together on the floor every Christmas Eve, I love it!!

Christmas Eve is always my favorite part of Christmas! We drove up first thing that morning and went over to give Brent and Eloise their gift from all of us.  Then we went to my parents house to exchange our gifts with them since we weren't going to be there on Christmas Day.  Then we were able to make Christmas Cookies for Santa, give the kids their Christmas Pj's and then tuck them in with their favorite Christmas Story.  I love Christmas Time!!
