Christmas Eve

Wyatt waited and waited very patiently every night asking whether Santa Claus would be coming that night and each night it was the same sad answer well....except tonight!  Wyatt was very excited when he finally came to the last door in his advent calendar.  He knew that Santa Claus was going to give him a visit with lots of toys and goodies just for him.  But he also knew that he had to be a good boy too fortunatly Grandma and Pappy came over to celebrate Christmas Eve with Wyatt and make sure he stayed on Santa's good list. 

 

Here is Wyatt opening the last door in his advent calendar:

 

 

The outside of the house all decorated and ready for Christmas:

 





 And the inside too along with a very cozy fire:

Grandma and Pappy came over and Mommy was getting dinner together so while Mommy and Daddy got everything all finished up Grandma, Pappy and Wyatt sang Christmas Carols.  We all sang 12 Days of Christmas and each of us had our very own part.  It was a lot of fun but I think Wyatt's favorite song this year was "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". He really got down to that one!

After our Christmas chorus show we all sat down to a nice dinner.  Wyatt even had a feast of his own with all of his favorite foods on the plate. 

 Then Wyatt opened Mommy & Daddy's Christmas present from Grandma and Pappy. 
It was a very beautiful ornament and perfect for Wyatt's first year as a shepard:

Wyatt and Sugar goofing around:

Lots of delicious cookies and yummy peanut butter balls for dessert:

Next we headed downstairs to watch Christmas movies and play games.  We all decided to play the Game of Life.  Wyatt showing his spirit:

After the game it was getting very late and Wyatt knew Santa was going to be coming in just a few short hours so he had to get all of the cookies and milk laid and out and ready for Santa's arrival.

Wyatt chose each cookie very carefully and laid them all out just right for Santa Claus:

Then we each got a book about Christmas to read to Wyatt. 

Grandma reading "How the Grinch Stole Christmas":

Daddy reading "The Sweet Smell of Christmas":

Just before heading off to bed we opened up our gifts:

And the Pappy read to Wyatt "The Night Before Christmas"

Momma and Wyatt all cozy in Wyatt's room:

Good Night sweet Bubs!!!!
