Christmas Eve

Riley's big present that Santa got at goodwill and cleaned up for super cheap!!

We have a lot of Christmas traditions that we have built over the 5 years of living together and it is so fun to see Riley getting to share in these traditions. Tony is just about out of the Santa phase, I am pretty sure he doesn't believe but he won't tell us that. I think he thinks he won't get presents! Riley LOVES Christmas time, she sings the songs, she thinks Santa is the coolest thing ever and well she loves the presents :) Since Tony wasn't with us this year :( we decided to go out to eat Christmas Eve. The only place open was Applebee's, which was fine with us. As we were getting ready to order our food, Santa came up to Riley and gave her a candy cane. She was in AWE. I so wish I had my camera. Her eyes got huge and she kept saying, it's Santa over and over in her quiet voice. By far a awesome memory, who would of thought! We also go and see Christmas lights Christmas eve, a lot of time that is just to get out of the house and make time go by a little faster! Once we got home we had to make our Christmas breakfast and of course put Santa's cookies and the reindeer food. After that is was time to go to bed and get ready to celebrate Jesus birthday!
