Christmas Eve!

We did all of our usual traditions on Christmas Eve this year, but SAWYER WAS HOME! It's so fun having him back! We made a big turkey dinner, decorated 'ugly Christmas sweater' cookies for Santa, read our Christmas story, threw our reindeer dust, and had a nice relaxing day!

Decorating cookies!
Bailey made a cookie that was ALMOST as ugly as the Christmas sweater she was wearing!

These were fun to make! Mark was the best decorator!
 Mason came by to bring Bailey her presents.

On Mason and Bailey's first date, he took a big traffic cone from the side of the road, and they ditched it at Jakob's house. Since then, it has been passed around at random times to the runner's houses. When Mason walked in with this, we cracked up! So funny!
I gave them Bean Boozled Jelly Beans to open on Christmas Eve. It is the most disgusting game ever! There are pairs of matching jelly beans. You have to eat them randomly, and hope for the best. If you get a green one, you will either be eating lime, or grass clipping flavors. Some of the other matches are tutti fruitti or stinky socks, buttered popcorn or rotten egg, chocolate pudding or canned dog food, peach or barf, black licorice or skunk spray, etc... Mark and Sawyer were wimps and would only eat a couple until they were too grossed out to eat any more. Bailey and Mason did way better! It's so funny to watch their faces when they start chewing and realize what they got! 
Our Christmas Eve story!
I'm not sure how we survived reindeer dust for two years without Sawyer!
Hahaha! I love them! 
Santa came!
