Henry has been in a state of unbridled near hysteria waiting for Christmas this year. Finally, Christmas Eve has arrived!!
The day started off well:
(This is post spatula licking...)
On Friday Henry and his playgroup had made dozens of snowflakes to send to Connecticut to decorate the new Sandy Hook elementary school (a request had been put out by the Connecticut PTA), and Henry was so enamored of the snowflake making that he decided our living room also needed to be a "winter wonderland":
We decorated Christmas cookies:
Elliot spent most of the day hanging out..he was SO excited about Christmas Eve that he was up at 4:50 AM for the day, ready to go!!
We had our Christmas Eve feast:
Where Elliot had his first taste of mashed potatoes!
The kids opened their matching Christmas pajamas:
And got to open one gift (Henry chose that they open the gifts they bought each other):
(Elliot ate a lot of wrapping paper. I am scared for tomorrow)
And we put out cookies and milk for Santa, with carrots for the reindeer:
Now we just need Santa to arrive!
