Christmas Eve

We had a great Christmas Eve.

We were all home together 

and it was even snowing most of the day.

Jared and Kamryn helped make cookies for Santa

before going out to do his usual shopping

For many years its been our tradition to go to the mall on Christmas Eve - just for fun.

When we first went when Justin was just 1 the mall was deserted and we were like the only ones there.

The last few years the mall has been packed and its amazing how many are there really shopping.

We had fun looking around and hanging out together.

this year we put the big tree downstairs because we don't have enough room in the living room

so we had the little tree upstairs

on Christmas Eve Jared and Kamryn had fun putting all of the presents

in front of the tree - since they wouldn't fit under the tree

Jared and Kamryn wanted to sleep downstairs by the big tree 

so they could wait for Santa

they were asleep in about 5 seconds
