Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was busy and different this year, in a good way.  We usually go to Zach’s parents for Christmas Eve, but with Sophia being older now, we really wanted to be able to put her to bed at the house so that she could put out cookies and milk for Santa.

So we had Zach’s side of the family over and my parents as well.  I cooked White Christmas Chicken Chili.  It was the first time that I had used this recipe and it turned out very yummy.

We had a great time exchanging gifts with the Mitchell side of the family and watching Sophia get ready for Santa to come.  She was so much fun to watch, she really understood what everything was all about.  Plus she loved reading Twas the Night Before Christmas and The Polar Express.

Sophia putting cookies and milk out for Santa.  She was really really eyeing the cookies, she then looked up at me and said, “One little bite, please?”  And of course she took a little nibble out of Santa’s cookies!  So cute!
