Christmas Eve

We had plans to get dinner before every place closed. Sweet little Navy had skipped nap, so as soon as we were in the car, he was fast asleep.

Plans were altered. He would sleep for another hour after we got to the house, then we’d go out.

Waking him was another matter. So, we put him back to bed, and decided on take out.

It was 8:04pm when Henry left. Most places advertised closing at 8. Bummer. Even McDonald’s was closed!

Jokingly, I suggested Panda Express. I may have seen too much “A Christmas Story.”

We also did the Christmas Eve box idea that has been making the rounds on Facebook.

It was impossible to find Christmas pyjamas that Lily would wear. I finally settled for Lalaloopsy footed jammies, which she loves.

We also let her open a super soft blanket to sleep with that night.

Our Christmas Eve Box
– pyjamas
– hot cocoa
– microwave popcorn
– Christmas movie

Lily’s movie: My Little Pony: A Very Minty Christmas
Navy’s movie: Go Diego Go! – Diego Saves Christmas

Lily’s blanket: Hello Kitty Canvas Tote & Sherpa Throw
Navy’s blanket: Disney Planes Throw Blanket & Canvas Tote

Note: Navy is still asleep, so he will just open his in the morning.

The First S’Noel

The kids have been not-so-patiently waiting for snow. Snow boots were out of sight, but not out of mind. I had two very bummed kids when it turned cold, but no snow.

Then, it snowed. Not much. Enough to lightly cover the grass and make the commute eventful.

Minus shopping, we really don’t start doing Christmas things until the day after Thanksgiving. For us, that’s the start of the Christmas season.
