Christmas Eve was the usual run about to get ready for Santa Clause and the Celebration of the Birth of Jesus. Most of the day everyone had their list of things to do to get ready for the holiday. In the morning while I was watching Tyler for Bobbie and Dave, he and I took the time to build and decorate a gingerbread house. We were both very messy by the time that we had gotten everything put together and decorated. (partially because I made the icing to put everything together a little too soft) Tyler had fun decorating everything but had more fun eating the decorations. We actually left one side of the house undecorated because we didn't have enough candy. (well I think we had enough candy but I believe Tyler ate it before we got to use it. The picture is of all of us enjoying the gingerbread creation on Christmas Eve ... yummy!
Mammy had to work Christmas Eve until 7pm at the coffee shop so we did a couple of errands to help her out also. I put in the ham to warm it up so that it would be ready for Christmas eve.
We all went to Christmas Eve services this year. Even mom made it in time to do the candle light part of the service. The boys (Toddy and Tyler) went back and sat with her on the pew behind us. They did really well this year with their candles. Mom as always sang silent night in German.
The picture is of Pappy and Toddy before they went to the church services.
After church was over, we all went to mammys house where there was ham and shrimp to eat.Bobbie had a special treat for the boys this year. She had gotten some reindeer food for the kids to sprinkle out in the yard so they would be sure that Santa and is reindeer would stop.
Sprinkle on the lawn at night
The moon will make it sparkle bright
As Santa's reindeer fly and roam
This will guide them to your home.
This is a picture of them sprinkling the food in the yard from the back patio. Toddy seemed to start getting very excited that Santa was going to visit him tonight.
