Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve started with a last minute bake session. I decided it would be fun to make some Christmas cupcakes with Madison. It is so fun to watch her! She did so good helping me mix the batter and pour it into the pans! She is such a good little helper.

Once the cupcakes were bakes, we decided to head out for a little bit and grab some lunch. We ended up at Friday's and Madison did really well. She sat in her chair most of the time, and even got a little stuffed animal from our server, which totally made her day. Once we got home, she went down for a nap and Jon and I finished up some last minute projects, finished wrapping some gifts, and I finished up making an appetizer. We got Madison up from her nap around 3:30 and got dressed to head over to Jon's parents house. We sat around, talked, ate some amazing food and then it was time for presents! Have you ever tried to keep an almost 2 year old from not opening presents under a Christmas tree! LOL. She had so much fun! She even helped Jon pass out the presents. She then got to work on opening up the mother load of gifts. Seriously, she made out. She got an easel, play doh table, a ton of clothes, a remote control car, a barn, books, the counting cookie jar, a little purse, more chap stick, and some money for her piggy bank! We are so grateful for everything! She did awesome this year opening presents. She would open up one present and then want to take a few minutes to play with it! At about 9:00 Madison was tired so we headed home.


Once we got her down for the night, it was time to start getting things ready for the morning! Santa "aka Daddy" put the finishing touches on her kitchen playset and we then brough out all the gifts for under the tree. It was so much fun setting all of this up! Here is what everything looked like when it was all out!
After all was said and done, we took our tired selves to bed to wait for Santa to come! :)
