Christmas Eve 2011

This year, Christmas Eve involved a lot of packing for our trip to Ohio, but we also managed to have our traditional Cheesecake Factory dinner. The boys had to say goodbye to our elf, Finn. He had been with us since Halloween and would be heading back to the North Pole with Santa. We left cookies and milk for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph, of course. And while we were reading books before bed, we heard some noises up on the roof. This terrified Lionel. I think he expected Santa to be in his room. Both boys were asleep in minutes!
