Christmas Eve

For the past several years we have started going out to lunch on Christmas Eve. This year we had a lot of the extended family there. It's always fun to see everyone when we go to MI.

After lunch we went to see Santa. Mackenzie was so excited. I can't believe that she wasn't even a little bit afraid. She climbed right up onto his lap and told him she wanted "one bear".

After Santa we went back to Nana and Papa's house to get ready to go to Grand Ledge to Aunt D's new church for the Christmas Eve service. The ride home was a little scary and much longer than it took getting there, but we made it home despite the storm.

Once home the girls set out cookies and milk for Santa then off to bed. The slept in the room Greg and I had so we could get everything out.

Madison wanted to sleep on the floor by the door so she wouldn't miss Santa when he came. She was so tired she slept right through his stop at Nana and Papa's house.

Here Greg and I are around 1am putting Mackenzie's doll crib together.
