Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was officially perfect this year, can't be touched, best day ever, wouldn't change a thing, perfect. The weather was fabulous, sunny, just a little cool, perfect. We started off our day heading to the gym and we played basketball for awhile. We got out the little goal and the mini basketballs and the kids just tried to make baskets. Aaron and I played a little game of PIG. Aaron won.

Carson started to get the hang of it. Oh don't worry I nailed Brooke right in the face while Aaron and I were peppering. 

Then after we delivered our last Angel Tree presents (hey its not our fault they were last minute :) the kids head outside with Aaron to jump on the trampoline and play some steam roller. 

Then after Brooke's nap it was time to go for a bike ride. 

Just chatting with Millie on our ride together. 

We stopped at the park for the kids to play for a little bit. They loved going down the slide all together. Having siblings sure is fun.  

Brooke LOVED it. 

Then we head home to have our amazing dinner. Aaron cooked steaks on the grill. Oh. My. Word. They were so amazing. He got the good steaks and marinated them and they were better than a fancy restaurant. 

Then after baths it was time to open our Christmas Eve presents. Finally Brooke had permission to tear those presents apart. 

Millie could hardly contain her excitement. 

Carson said, "this is not a toy." He warmed up to them after a few minutes. 

Millie couldn't believe it, pajamas with a skirt! 

We got a few adorable ones before Brookey was off to bed. 

Then we let the bigs roast marshmellows in the fire and have s'mores. 

Then it was time to make sugar cookies for Santa. Oh man did Santa love those cookies. 

Afterwards we let the kids watch a show in bed together before they went to sleep. 

I told you, perfect. It was just such a fun day. I hope that we can do Christmas Eve like this every year!
