We tried to do it up right on Christmas Eve. We started with dinner, then I bought a gingerbread train kit from the store so the boys could put it together. There was definitely a ton of candy on it, but it turned out really cute.

After the train, we opened our Christmas Eve presents, pajamas.
The boys were super excited for theirs.
After that, we have a tradition to watch the Polar Express. This year, Nate got the book Polar Express as a gift from one of his students. So first, we listened to a cd of someone reading it while we followed along.
When the book was over, we got all ready for the movie. We made hot cocoa and popcorn.
I love that movie and think it's a perfect way to end Christmas Eve.
This year, Kayton's teacher did something really cute. She made reindeer food for us to sprinkle around the yard of our house. It had food and sparkles in the bag so that the reindeer would see it and come down to our house. We spread it all around the backyard before going to bed that night so that the kids would know for sure that Santa would come.
Happy Christmas Eve everyone.
