Christmas Eve

After naps, our Christmas Eve party started.  We were so lucky to have Krystale come and spend some time with us on Christmas Eve this year.  We try to make Christmas Eve special.  We also like to share our fun with people who might not have anything else to do on Christmas Eve.  We had the Chois spend time with us again this year.  Harim and her mom came for Christmas Eve dinner and party.  I have been their visiting teacher for a few years and we all just love them so much.  It was so nice to have them spend some time with us.  We started our party with the guessing game.  Everyone got a present and they had to guess what was inside.  They were pretty easy to guess this year.  As the kids get bigger, I will make it more challenging.  After the first game we had a delicious dinner.  I did not take any pictures, but it was soooo good.  I tried a couple new recipes and they were tasty.  After dinner we played more games. 

We played pin the star on the tree.  Natalia remembered doing a game similar to this last year and requested that we do it again.  We all had so much fun.  Sienna thought it was so much fun to wear the scarf on her head.  She would not take it off so we had to get another one for everyone else to use. 

We also helped Santa fill his bag of gifts by tossing a present into the bag.  Hector was pretty good at it and Sienna was really entertaining.  She just walked up to the bag and dropped it in. 

The Chois had to leave so we gave them their stockings and let the girls open the present from them so that they could watch.  We then eat pie and let the girls play with Krystale a little longer.  They had fun doing some more Christmas crafts.  The whole day was full of fun.

Sienna kept the scarf on all night long.  She is so cute.  Krystale left and we put the girls to bed.  Natalia put out a plate for Santa to have some pie and they set their stockings out.  We told Natalia that Santa would only come if we were all asleep in our beds.  She took this very seriously.  Right after we put her to bed we started getting stuff out of the attic.  We were making all kinds of noise, but she did not take a peak.  We got all the girls stuff ready and then Hector and I watched Elf. 

We had such a nice Christmas Eve.  The girls slept great all night and both Hector and I slept like seven year old kids awaiting Christmas.  I seriously could not sleep.
