Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve was fabulous! No frantic baking or shopping went on at our house. It was very low key and peaceful. Conor and I spent the day skiing at 49 Degrees North and we had a perfect day on the hill. Kevin and the rest of the gang hung out at home and Kevin took on the task of making the chili for our Christmas eve traditional dinner. He opted to try a new recipe, and made chicken chili that was delicious and a very fun change.
When Conor and I got home the crockpot was simmering and the chocolate milk and egg nog were waiting. We checked with the Norad santa tracker frequently to check Santa's location and then we gathered around the tree for our traditional presents of Christmas jammies and a special Christmas book. We were given a special package of reindeer food so the kids ran out to sprinkle it on the driveway. Conor actually wanted to go to bed to try and make Christmas come sooner. He was so excited! So off to bed went my 2 excited children and Lincoln stayed up with me to see if he could catch Santa.
