Wake up and shovel the driveway. Yes, MORE snow.
Christmas Eve bowling . . . .
I think it's 5 years now that we have been doing this with a few other families. Always lots of fun.
Lunch at Burgerville
Wrap up the last few gifts. And come up with a plan for gifts that did not arrive in time because of the snow. Grrr!
Make cookies for Santa. This year we made peanut butter cookies with Hershey kisses on top.
Pull out the chimes for the kids to play on.
Have the power go out in the middle of baking cookies. About 3:30pm. Pull out the candles and light a few because it will be getting dark soon (already a pretty gray day).
Try to read Christmas books to the kids until it becomes just too hard to focus on the words in the low light.
4:30 and the lights come back on!
Gingerbread waffles for dinner.
Track Santa's progress on NoradSanta.org.
The kids were waaayy entertained by this all evening long. They loved clicking on the pictures and video and counting down the minutes & seconds to the next update.
Open one present under the tree -- pajamas!
Set out cookies for Santa, carrots for the reindeer, and cheese for Santa Mouse.
Go to bed!
