Christmas Eve

This year I spend Christmas with Emily's family and Dad and Mom in Carson City. Emily and Russ went all out to make the holiday fabulous. My favorite part of the holidays are spending time with family and traditions. For Christmas Eve we had appetizers including a fancy fondue.
Emily making Spritz Cookies for Santa and the chocolate fondue. Parker loves helping Emily in the kitchen. What a cute Mom!
After dinner Parker and Hannah opened one gift...PJ's. They were so cute and excited to open a present. They loved their PJ's. Parker also got some new car slippers that he wore faithfully!
After the kids got all snugly in their PJs we went and looked at Christmas lights. We found some pretty fancy lights. At one house in was a Christmas Extravaganza, you pulled up and tuned into a certain radio station which corresponded with a spectacular light show and movie presentation.
Russ read the Christmas story from the Bible and then the kids put cookies out for Santa!

Hannah has quite a sweet tooth, it was hilarious because Parker was serious about Santa getting his cookies and Hannah snagged one as soon as Parker walked away. A girl after my own heart :)
After the kids went to bed we had a yummy chocolate fondue.
