Christmas Eve

Reesi, Holly, and the Andys ready for bed.



Santa's Cookies


Putting out the reindeer food.


Tonight after dinner at Granny and Papa's we came straight home to get ready for Santa. After showing her new friend Holly around Reesi got into her pajamas right away and we went to leave food for the reindeer. She also came up with the idea that we better leave some water for them because after eating all the food they would be thirsty. We then set out cookies for Santa and went to read The Night Before Christmas. She was so excited m and screaming out into the night for Rudolf, but she also knew she better go straight to bed so Santa would bring her toys. I think she was asleep in ten minutes. We never heard a peep.





Later Karen and Van came over to help Mom and Dad get ready for Santa. It is so fun to watch the excitement in her. I am just curious to see what time she will wake up in the morning!

Joni, enjoy this special time with Reesi. Time goes by so quickly that you will blink an eye and it will all be gone and miss it more than you will ever realize. Reesi is just so precious. Ernie and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and it will be even more special with the new baby next Christmas. Love you guys,
