Christmas Eve 2010

Twas the night before Christmas.....

What a great day we had!  We started the day with a little crayon refashioning!  Sam has been breaking all his crayons so I decided to melt them all down and make new ones - I tried to seperate out the colors but Sam wasnt liking that idea so we just mixed them up!

 

Later in the day I decided to start a fun tradition with Christmas pjs! I saw this online and thought I can do that! Start with an empty, clean paint can (thanks Home Depot!)

Add some ribbon on the handle and then your favorite paper to the sides. And you get this:

And this guy here brought them.... Meet Fourteen!

Our friends Gena and Chad sent him to us and Sam first named him Christina (his teacher) but then started to call him Fourteen.... not sure where that came from but so be it.. lol


So the tradition goes like this - every year while we are at Christmas Eve mass we will leave the pj bucket out under the tree and Fourteen the elf will put their special Christmas pjs inside - here is Sam getting his this year

Next we had a little fun with some reindeer antlers - Sam LOVED getting his picture taken with Piper.











We ended the night with reading "twas the night before Christmas" and Sam must have really liked it cuz he made me read it FIVE times  =)

Off to bed now...... Santa is on his way.....
