Christmas Eve we spent at my in-law's house along with Jeremiah's parents, older sister Amanda with her family and Shayla, his youngest sister.
Santa Claus came to the house riding on a lit up fire truck! The kids were so excited to get to sit on his lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. He gave them each a box of candy and a little stuffed animal. What a treat!
After Santa left, all 14 of us walked down the street to the nursing home and sang Christmas carols in the hall ways.
After returning home, Grandma Mo read a sweet story about a special Christmas orange.
After her story, all of the kids got dressed up to act out the Christmas story. Ashlyn- as Mary, Mason- as Joseph, Logan- as a Shepherd, and Kennedy and Brooklyn- as Angels. Aunt Shayla read the Christmas story out of Luke and the kids walked in when their part was read. They were so sweet and reverent.
After getting pj's on, the big girls, Brooklyn and Ashlyn worked together to write a Christmas letter to leave out on the table for Santa to read when he ate his fudge and egg nog.
All the big kids slept in the same room Christmas Eve. It took quite a long time for them to fall asleep. Dallas had a hard time sleeping as well. He always does when he isn't in his own bed.
It was a little crazy and chaotic with all of the kids running around but it was a great Christmas Eve!
