Christmas Eve 2012


We stayed at my sister Tatia's house for Christmas this year.  We were only planning on staying for a few days because we needed to get back to Colorado to pack up and move East, but we got to stay a few days longer thanks to some big snow storms that hit Utah.  It was fun to have a white Christmas.
 
Christmas Eve was fun and laid back.  We played games, watched movies, decorated cookies for Santa and ate our traditional Christmas Eve dinner which is basically Thanksgiving dinner all over again.  You can't have too much of a good thing and turkey and mashed potatoes are a good thing.  The kids got to sleep out under the Christmas tree which made is a little tricky for Santa to get in and do his work, but thanksfully our kids sleep like rocks and Santa had no problems.

A little Christmas Eve arm wrestle anyone?
