Christmas Eve



RJ wants his own computer. Have you ever heard of a three year old asking for his very own computer? Well, now you have. We told him that he was going to have to earn that computer since it was such a big gift. He has been working on this computer chart since the summer. At first it he would get a star for using the potty, then when he was all potty trained we used the chart as a way of enticing him to stay in bed all night long. He also got stars for good behavior. We didn't think he was going to make it in time for Santa to come. But he surprised us and stayed in his bed all night long Sunday night which gave him 5 stars (he only had 4 to go). He was so excited and proud that he got his chart done before Christmas. He wanted Santa to bring him the computer, knowing that his parents had no money.
































Learning how to make scrambled eggs.















RJ went around the house pretending to be a fire fighter. I guess the whole house was on fire because he had to spray everything. Even after we asked him repeatedly not to get the house all wet.



















Dear Santa, Please Define Good!
We had a heck of a day with RJ on Christmas Eve. I was so tempted not to allow Santa to come that night. But by evening he did seem to get better.
















It snowed all day on Christmas Eve. We had a little snow before but not a lot. We have tons now! Thank goodness for snow blowers.















The present had been piling up by the back door all month. I couldn't put them under the tree or else Savannah and Sally would have themselves an early Christmas.


















So, the night before Christmas the kids put all the presents under the tree.






















Wow, look at all the gifts already. Grandma and Grandpa sure love their Grandkids.













When I was young my mom bought us a new ornament every year. I continued the tradition and add on to it. Jared wanted them to open a present on Christmas eve so now every Christmas Eve they will get to open there new ornaments and hang them on the tree.




















RJ was so excited about his ornament.




















He got Lighting McQueen and Sally and instead of hanging them on the tree He had to take him to his room and play with them with his other cars.

This is such a cute post. I like how you went throughout the days and with all the pics. Eva was horrid on Christmas Eve too if it makes you feel any better, I also did not think Santa should come. I've got to get my pics uploaded!

So did you get RJ a computer? That's a pretty tall order! How was your Christmas Day? I've updated our website so you should check it out.
Happy New Year!
