Christmas eve

After a last minute meeting with Santa at our friends' the Copelands house, the boys came back to Nana and Papa's to get ready for Santa's arrival.

Checking Santa's progress on the computer


Earlier we had gone to dinner at Nana and Papa's neighbors' and Casey had gone nuts for the pumpkin bread served on the dessert table. He asked for a doggie bag so he could leave some out for Santa and his reindeer. (We had to convince him that the reindeer didn't need a glass of milk of their own.

Brett helped Casey write a letter to Santa explaining that he was to share the pumpkin bread with them.

"Dear Santa, give the bread to the reindeers please. Love Brett and Casey. PS We love you Santa."

Brett writes as Casey dictates the letter to Santa


We finally got the boys to bed at around 10 p.m. They can barely wait to see what Santa brings.

Wonder what they're dreaming about...

Our boys went to bed easily at their normal 8pm bedtime -- we've told them the sooner they get to sleep the sooner Santa can arrive LOL!! :))

Hope Dan's parents liked the kids' pictures! I'm sure they turned out great.

Chris wanted to know if I made you mad since we didn't talk all day yesterday hahaha :) Hope you guys are having a good time up there!

The boys have been so excited and have loved their gifts -- my blog is updated in case you haven't been there yet :) Merry Christmas!
