SIX Toddler Reindeer!

We had quite a time trying to "herd reindeer" and get lots of photos of the little ones. We felt pretty fortunate to get the ones we got! 

Many times, "ALL EYES WERE ON ADDIE," because she's just so cute, and she's the littlest, and she's the only girl, and she's adorable, and everybody wants to hold her, and she's learning so many new things, and she had us all wrapped around her little finger, and...

Nathalie made homemade pizza crust and sauce, and we all made our own pizzas on Christmas Eve. Toppings ranged from traditional pepperoni & cheese to non-cheese versions, spinach, olives, peppers, canadian bacon, mushrooms, etc. YUMMY!

Then we corralled the little ones and opened Christmas PJs and REINDEER ANTLERS so we could get ready to "settle our heads for a long winter's nap!"

ELON hoodies instead of PJs this year!

Then we read the Christmas Story in Luke 2, and helped the grandkids put together a little Nativity Set.

 

Then we sang "Silent Night" and had family prayer. And then we put out milk and cookies for Santa on our Santa Plate! Andrew was very concerned that we be sure to put them in the living room NOW, and not when the adults go to bed, because "Santa won't have time to go in the kitchen!"

I didn't get a photo of our yummy chocolate chip cookies ("baked by Andrew and Cielo") we put out for Santa, but here's the plate we used!
