Christmas Eve

The day started out a little rough, Trey got called at 8:30 a.m. to fly to Colorado and back. We had plans to go to Michelle and Scott's for dinner, so that meant Holden and I had to busy ourselves for the day. We went to see Santa at the UTC Mall (see post below). Holden came home and napped, and then we got ready to go to the Conley's. Holden loves playing at "Gavin's house", so many fun toys and bikes. Trey made it there by about 7:00 p.m. - perfect timing for dinner. Michelle made an AMAZING Christmas dinner! I mean, honestly, quite impressive, and even more delicious! After dinner, the kids got to decorate Christmas cookies for Santa, and make reindeer food. Shortly after that, we came home to get tucked in bed, so that Santa would come.
