Getting Ready...

Christmas eve is a big family time for us! After we returned home from our trip up north, we got our kids ready for the evening and for all of our pending visitors. My mom, Shawn, McKenna and Luke were on their way from Rockford and Kait, Mike and Reese planned on a sleepover at our house as well! All of the commotion made for a late night! I had gotten all of the kids matching jammies, which was super cute! We put out our cookies for Santa, had some play time and got all of the kids off to bed. Unfortunately, I still had gifts to wrap and a living room to transform before morning came, so it did end up being a late night! Everyone had "visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads...." We looked forward to the next big day!

Nanan played "pig pile" with the kids...
Jack loves putting out the cookies, and Liv wanted to try the milk...
So excited and full of love!

Best we could do...

My lens wasn't wide enough to get everything in, but there was not a lot of room left for people in my living room...
