Christmas Eve

We started the day with a holiday tradition- making and decorating sugar cookies, or "tooties" as James calls them!

Mikayla could only observe the festivities last year, so she was excited to participate this year!


James is becoming a pro at baking. 
He gets lots of practice with Mom and Grandma! 



His favorite part- applying the sprinkles.  


Similar to last year, some cookies got (tons) more sprinkles than others! 

Of course, Mikayla wanted to try! 


Later in the evening: We stayed at the Backman family Christmas party just long enough for James to lose his lunch at dinner. With that, we decided to have a low key Christmas Eve at home! Luckily the kids perked up once they had a bath and their pajamas.

We put out cookies for Santa.

And carrots for his reindeer.



So much excitement on this special night!

To say that James was excited is an understatement! 
You'll get an idea when you watch the video!


Such a magical season we are in. :)
