Christmas Eve, the kids met up with my parents to go the Eyre Christmas party in Logan. They had a blast and didn't fall asleep to or from the drive to Logan. They were probably too excited having new pillow pets! Mike and I escaped and went and saw Sherlock Holmes, played games and got ready for Santa to come. We met up with the kids later at the Price's Eve Party, a family tradition since I can remember. After Cafe Rio dinner, we listened to the Colleti family sing, the kids rang jingle bells and then we sing Santa Claus is coming to town and he always appears!
Special thanks to Grandma Price for putting on the big party every year. Back in the day, everyone including Grandma and Aunts and Uncles and cousins would all sit on Santa's lap now it's just the great grand kids, I think Grandma said she was up to 33 but she's lost track!
Grandma bakes cookies for her married grand kids. It's always a treat to have her sugar cookies and carmelittas.
Here's proof, me and Santa many years ago. I was probably 5 in this picture.
And maybe 6 in this picture.
Now the Great Grands all sit very close I might add to Santa and wait for their name to be called out of his giant sack of presents. At the beginning of December, Lexi was hesitant to sit on the Santa's lap but by the end of the month she was so excited her fears were forgotten.

Lexi loves Uncle Brody or Boudy as she calls me. She is generously feeding him chocolate cake.
Santa left and we headed back home. The kids found the reindeer food and ran outside to sprinkle the magic dust on the lawn so the reindeer could see their house and bring them presents. Everyone picked one cookie to leave for Santa and a glass of egg nog.
We came inside to open a couple presents, new jammies and a Old Testament Bible Reader.
We read the story of the birth of the baby Jesus, got dressed in our new jammies and headed to bed.
The kids were so exhausted from a busy and exciting day that sleep was no problem.
