Christmas Eve

On Dec. 20th Drake and I were off to Las Vegas, followed by Jordan on the 23rd, for an eventful 2 week Christmas vacation! Christmas Eve was no exception to the festivities as it always is, filled with many traditions and surrounded by family.

Drake started off the morning by getting acquainted with Winston. I think he was very intrigued!

Last minute wrapping was going on... all except for the presents! Aunt Brittney had fun adding a little decoration to Drake, who didn't mind it in the least!

Nope not at all.

Of course we had to hit up In-N-out a couple of times while we were there, why not on Christmas Eve? Then off to see Santa.

Drake didn't really know what to think of this old guy with huge glasses and fuzzy stuff hanging off of his face. He was curious for the first couple of minutes then kind of got nervous. Worthwhile?...Of course we had to document seeing Santa for the first time....the $14.95 for a 5x7....not so sure about that!

Drake loved the attention he got from his cute Aunt's!

On to Christmas Eve dinner! The menu is the same every year, fillet mignon and shrimp scampi with 20 other sides to go along with it, always super delicious and always way to much food!

Grandma B. and I with our tummies full!

Mom setting out Christmas Eve presents. As tradition we always get to open our Christmas pj's and Christmas books.

Pj's First!

Our little family got matching pajamas which were so cute, seriously Mom!

I have loved this tradition as well, getting a Christmas book every year. We have been doing this for as long as I can remember and we now have a whole collection of Christmas books which will so fun to share with our children as they grow up.

We ended the night watching Elf and slept soundly with our alarm clock being Drake!
