After church, we went home, changed into Christmas pajamas and headed over to Grandma and Peepaw's house. Here, we had our traditional Chinese gift exchange, opened presents from grandparents and filled our bellies with finger foods.
Next, we headed over to Gran's house, where we opened presents from cousins, had our traditional ornament exchange, played Christmas Bingo, snacked on sweets and sipped on coffee and hot cocoa.
After getting home from Gran's, we got out the cookies, carrots and milk for Santa. A few years ago, the boys started a tradition where they like to set out carrots for each reindeer.
Before snuggling up in bed on the most exciting night of the year, Remi set up his ipad in front of the stockings in hopes of catching Santa leaving them goodies. Between trying to keep Little Lady out of Santa's food and figuring out a reason I could tell Remi why I stopped his recording, it was a bit tricky. In the end, I told Remi I turned off his recording so that I could get a piciture of Lady drinking Santa's milk- he did not think this was a legitimate reason to at all!!
These sweet little boys fell asleep with dreams of all the surprises that would be under the Christmas tree in the morning...
