Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve morning we headed to my parents to spend a little time with them. My mom started a new tradition this year. She got the girls each a gift that they could open Christmas Eve. They were super excited, especially since they got their first Barbie!! She also got them a new Christmas movie. After they opened their gift, my mom read "The Night Before Christmas" to them and then we watched their new movie, "Santa Paws". They had so much fun playing with their Barbie that afternoon while waiting to head to Marme' and Pops.






We spent Christmas Eve night at Marme' and Pops' house. After we ate a yummy dinner, we celebrated Jesus' birthday with cake and punch. Then we exchanged white elephant gifts. This is our second year to do this and it was really funny! Some real thought went into some of these gifts!! Then, Santa made his annual appearance at the Chilek house, bringing gifts for all the grandkids. Only Jax and Camden wanted to get a picture with him. After all that fun, we tore into the mountain of gifts. It was pure chaos, but oh so much fun!! We all got some great stuff, especially all the kiddos. Tons of toys and clothes!! What a fun night!
