We had a very relaxed and enjoyable Christmas Eve. We started the day out right by going to Costso. Yes, I took four boys to Costco on Christmas Eve. We got there right when they opened and the store was empty. The boys were angels and of course were rewarded with churros!
I love to watch people look at my cart with four boys in it. But seriously, I love to look at my cart with four boy in it too.
We came home and started a cosy fire that went strong for the next 36+ hours. We love our fireplace.
We had a delicious Christmas Eve dinner if I do say so myself. We had ham, rolls, asparagus, and mashed potatoes. It's always fun to have a fancy dinner with our boys. Note that the boys were already in their pajamas.
We always got to open one gift on Christmas Eve which usually ended up being pajamas. My boys have ridiculous amounts of PJ's, so they got slippers. They were thrilled to open them.
Getting them to all sit down for a picture was almost impossible. Gouverneur wanted to march around in his new slippers. Here's the best we got.
We put the boys to bed after have a special scripture reading that dad had prepared. They were in bed and asleep by 8 which was good because Santa's elves had a lot of work to do. Daddy elf stayed up late assembling bikes, while momma elf wrapped gifts and arranged things.
The bikes turned out great. We knew that they boys would go nuts in the morning. It's fun being in charge.
Here is the loot under the tree. We made special Grandma Fillmore Cookies that day. The boys loved putting them out for Santa.
