Christmas Eve

Our family has a few traditions on Christmas Eve... the first being the sibling gift exchange. This year Owen did his shopping all by himself at his school's gift shop and he was so excited to present what he picked out that we did the exchange first thing in the morning. And he got Mama and Daddy gifts, too!





Owen and Charlotte exchanged their thoughtful gifts to one another...




We start watching The Polar Express while we picnic in the living room...

...and before we leave the house we get our picture in front of the tree...


Our annual trip to Longwood Gardens!
















We finish the movie in the car, and when we get home we write a note and set out cookies and milk for Santa!
