Christmas Eve

For the past couple of years, Tom and I have always celebrated Christmas Eve the same way - We gorge on our favorite appetizers, drink wine (or last year, grosser than gross alcohol-free wine) and watch Elf. This year, we added a few new traditions to the mix.

There is a house near us that has lights set to music (they have a radio station that works only on their street). We bundled up Cole, figuring he would love it.



Yep. My FAVORITE holiday song blasting, lights flashing and he's more interested in the buttons on the door. Took him out of the car and he only focused on the other cars driving by. The kid's a character! Next year.

We came home and made cookies for Santa.

Finally. All ready for the big guy!





Then we waited.
