Christmas Eve

So we also have Christmas on Christmas Day of course. Dean and I actually go to my parents house on Christmas eve. This year we got there about 2pm. Unloaded the massive (embarrassingly massive) amount of gifts from my car as well as food. We spent the day just hanging out until it started to get dark then we jumped in the car and took a drive to look at Christmas lights. We saw some beautiful light displays as well as a living manger which was just beautiful! We came home, had a hot bowl of chili (or 2) got cookies ready for Santa as well as the letter Dean had written to Santa. Will post about that next. Every year Dean gets to open a present on Christmas Eve. He got new Christmas pj's (he gets them every year but hasn't seemed to realize that yet!)
Dean let my parents open one gift Christmas Eve as well. It was the book, "Frosty the Snowman" with him recorded reading it. Very cute. After this is was bath time for Dean and off to bed to wait for Santa to come.

Once he was in bed mom and I set about for our annual Christmas Eve activities. Watching "It's a Wonderful Life" while wrapping all of the last minute gifts.
I think we finally went to bed about 1 am. Dean woke us up about 6 very excited that Santa had come and had even left a letter behind for Dean.
