Christmas Eve 2010

Our family tradition on Christmas Eve is to spend the evening with Stephen's sister, brother and sister-in-law, and our nieces. We eat dinner, decorate cookies for Santa, and spend fun time together as a family.

Grandma and 'Pam-paw' came over for a little while too.

Jake playing with Mia...he LOVES her. She can make him laugh harder than anyone else! Check out the videos at the end of this post :)
Time to make the cookies...notice my little guy is going straight for the chocolate chips!

Jake ate chocolate chips and cinnamon red hots by the handful!

Then it was time to head back upstairs for more playing! I think Jake was calling to make sure Santa was on his way!
BIG smiles while playing with Mia
and for Aunt Dawn too
TOO sweet!
Eventually, it was time for everyone to head home so that Santa could come. Jake picked out some cookies to leave for Santa and some carrots for Rudolph too.


After Jake finally went to sleep (at 10:00!....thanks to all the sugar!) Santa came and left Jake lots of presents.

Here are 2 videos of Jake and Mia playing throughout the night. I LOVE to hear this laugh!
