Friday : Day 24

Christmas Eve. I made a quick grocery run this morning to get a couple things for our Christmas Day meals. Jen, Ty and kids came over earlier this year, around noon, so we had more time together. We spent the afternoon playing some games, Whonu, of course, and Scattergories was another big favorite. Mom made her homemade Chicken and Noodles AND her homemade Beef and Noodles. The Chicken and Noodles is my favorite and they were better than ever! The kids were all so excited about Christmas. Our White Elephant gift exchange was super fun, as usual. I ended up with a puzzle, but then Jack traded me for his Taylor Swift CD. We got home around 9:00 and got the boys to bed (Cody simply went to bed; Jack was more work, as usual, but he was SO excited for the next morning that he had a hard time; he was tired though and fell asleep pretty quickly), laid out cookies for Santa, and Chris and I put stuff in the stockings. Then to bed by 10:30.
