Christmas Eve

It's finally Christmas Eve!

We explained to Jax that we were only opening a couple of presents tonight and then the rest tomorrow.  I don't think he understood the logic in it, but he played along with us.

Julie had no idea what we were doing so Jax had to help.

They received presents, Angry Bird Games, Cabbage Patch doll, and clothes for tomorrow.  Jax was very happy to be playing with his Angry Bird games.  Pigs with Santa hats...alright!

And Julie promptly starting caring for her baby.

We then had to head out to church.  We went to the 5:00 service because it is geared for kids.  Jax thought it was so neat that he got to hold a candle this year!

I love, love, love singing by the candle light.

Afterwards, we came home and ate dinner.  We finally lighted the Christ candle, to which we explained to Jax that it meant tomorrow is Christmas!

And then we all got into our new pajamas!

Can you guess what the theme of our pj's was?  And notice that Julianne is still feeding her baby.

We put the kids to bed, but Jax had a hard time sleeping because he wanted to hear Santa say, "Ho ho ho."  He also wanted to come out and say hi to Santa.  We convinced him that Santa's not coming til he is asleep and eventually he did fall asleep.

Thanks goodness because Santa was getting tired of waiting!

Now onto Christmas morning!
