Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we headed out for some fun. Hayden brought the Robot book along to read in the car.
Our first stop was the Jelly Belly Factory (really just a warehouse). It's pretty boring, but the kids like the train ride (for the first 3 minutes) and the free candy. Plus I wanted some Jelly Bellies!
Next we went to the mall. We went to Bass Pro Shop to get free pictures with Santa. I was so proud of Hayden. She was very nervous and didn't want to see Santa. But when it was our turn, she walked right up and told him she wanted a sled with a rope (ours don't have ropes to pull people) and a Barbie. Cole wasn't scared at all and asked for a Buzz Lightyear. Ryan wasn't too thrilled about getting his picture with Santa, but it was free so I made him.
While we were at the mall, we took the kids to the Christmas store to pick out their ornaments for the year. They fit them each perfectly!
Later that night, the kids sprinkled reindeer food on the deck.

While we were taking care of the reindeer food, the elves brought our new pajamas! Our elf, Waffle, had moved over to see us open our pajamas. The kids thought that was so funny!
Then it was off to bed so Santa could come.....
