Christmas Eve!

Our annual Christmas Eve tradition is that my family, Brian's parents and the Sawyer/Stover family all go over to Janet and Rob's house. Tyler and Blake don't see each other too often; however, when they do, they really play well togther and have very similar personalities. We had a yummy dinner....tri-tip, twiced baked potatoes, and salad.

Another Christmas Eve tradition is the candle tree. Each person gets to pick a candle, make a wish and then we light them all at once. We sing Christmas carrols and wait as each candle flickers away. This year Tyler won! Brian has been doing this for 33 years and claims he has never won....maybe next year babe:-)

Please let my candle be last!

Cade loved watching the candle tree
Once we got home, Blake got carrots, milk and cookies ready for Santa and his reindeer. He was really excited and into it. Its so special and memorable watching my boys get beyond excited for Santa to come!!!! Once we put them to bed, my dad and Brian were hard at work putting together the wagon from Tutu and the kitchen from Santa. I can hardly wait until next year......

Getting everything ready!

I hope Santa and the reindeer like our treats

Working hard.....
