And this house was a mess, filled with present and cookies, it is surely the best!
What a day!
Up to Breakfast casserole....yum!
My mom and I spent 2 hrs at Heel Your Sole, dunking our troubles and getting Happy hands. That place is heaven on earth. RUN there!
When we came back, we got ready for our evening excursions.
After a cheesesteak dinner, we headed to meet the UAFD team to travel around our neighborhood and hand out reindeer dust to guide the reindeer into our houses and candy canes. Santa ( aka my amazing Santa husband) sat on the front of the engine and we got to watch the kids faces light up as Santa rode through our neighborhood. What a great idea my husband had. He makes me so proud,
But, not as proud as he made me during our second evening excursion, which was to take Christmas ( groceries and gifts) to our adopted family of 7. My parents and I and Audrey piled in the car to watch as the fire trucks pulled into the apartment complex where our family lived. The dad and his boys were waiting outside and so humbled and gracious.
If you want to feel what Christmas is really meant to be like, pack up your loved ones some Christmas eve and go give Christmas to a family who needs it. WOW, will it ever make you feel blessed, especially when you do it for a 14, 12, 7, 5 and 3 year old family of boys.
We came home and threw our reindeer dust all over the lawn.
Then, we got in our Christmas jammies.
and then put cookies and milk out for Santa.

We opened our Advent Tree and placed the Baby Jesus on, our last advent activity.
We sang Away in the Manger.
and now my Dad is reading Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Best Christmas EVER!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night.
For unto us a child is born, a king!
Thank you Lord....for everything!
