... and to all a goodnight!

I love Christmas Eve and the traditions that come with it.

Every year we have dinner at my mom's and then attend the Service of Lessons and Carols at church ... and this year was no different. The kids were so good and Chicky sang along in her own version of each Christmas carol ... so cute.

After church we took the kids through a local festival of lights. We always let them get out of their car seats and join us in the front of the car while we slowly drive through the festival ... they love it!

And then once we got home, the kids Mason tracked Santa on the computer ...

Just before bed, they opened their Christmas pajamas from the tooth fairy. She comes every Christmas Eve, teeth or no teeth ...

Once the kids were all nestled in their beds ... Santa's helpers were up until 4 a.m. wrapping presents -- because they had lost their heads.

Shh ... looks like Santa has been here!
