Christmas Eve (cont)

We had a quiet Christmas Eve this year with just us, AK and her nephew.  My little sis is due with her first baby very soon so they and my parents stayed close to home this year.  J's parents were hosting Christmas for more family as others have also migrated further South from Connecticut. As crazy as this sounds, I missed having a houseful of people but was very content with the holiday being quiet.



We had crockpot lasagna and salad for dinner, and cookies for dessert while watching the Polar Express.  I have to say that we all agree that the version of Grammy reading the book is better than the movie.

Sorry for the length of the video.  Listen carefully for the bells.



Someone left lots of cookies for Santa.



I thought this look was so sweet ...


until I realized he was prepping for this move.  What a ham.


Hope your Christmas Eve was peaceful.

Santa always knows what you have been up to.

Merry Christmas Eve, Love Cooper & Santa

 Take 1 with Santa at Bass Pro Shop.  Notice the great divide between the two of them.

 Take 2 was much better.  But nothing is as good as sitting with Poppa Santa.

Christmas Eve

We had a houseful of family and friends for Christmas this year.  Both sets of Cooper's grandparents and my sister and her husband came for a visit.

 Spreading reindeer food with Dad.

 Making sure he had maximum coverage so the reindeer could find his house.

 Grammy reading the Polar Express to other family members who couldn't be with us.

 Cooper convinced everyone in the room to help him with a very difficult puzzle.  They were happy to pitch in and help the little guy.

 I made everyone take a test play a game to see how many logos they could come up with.

 Cooper putting out his first milk and cookies for Santa.  He chose a decorated Christmas tree from Uncle Dave and a peanut butter blossom.  Luckily Poppa told him to only give Santa a little milk because he couldn't drink too much at one house.

A big squeeze for Mom before he headed off to bed.  Right before he went, we heard jingle bells in the backyard.  This momentarily frightened him, but then he was already to be asleep.  After a reading of Twas the Night Before Christmas from Dad, he was down for the count.
