Christmas Eve 2013

We decided to let the kids open 1 present on Christmas Eve this year.  They were pretty excited to open this gem from Joe and Lisa.

 An xbox!  They were pretty excited, and Reef immediately started hoping Minecraft was coming in his stocking! Thanks, Joe and Lisa!

 Then we headed to church for the Christmas Eve service.  After 3 potty trips in the first 30 minutes (tell me again why I potty trained over Christmas break???), we decided to come home early.
We threw out our reindeer food...

And put out lamingtons for Santa Claus..

 I guess Poppy had gone to bed before this picture:

After the kids were in bed, these Santas got to work!

I snapped a picture of our tree in the dark.  Still not quite what Pinterest showed but a vast improvement over last year's attempt!
