Christmas Eve {December 24, 2012}

Christmas Eve. 

I told you I wouldn't give up! 

This year we had so much fun making presents, and for the first time Reagan was REALLY into helping and surely got me in the spirit.  My favorite gift this year was our picture magnets.  I found the idea on pinterest, and went to 6 stores in town to find the supplies... so worth it.  We had an assembly line going and I think made a total of 178, whew!  Another favorite we made at a local pottery shop Artsy Me.  Reagan choose and painted ornaments for Alden, Ashton, Nana, and her Daddy, then a big gecko for PawPaw.  I picked out a spoon rest for Ashton and put 'Scarlett Fairchild' across the top {since she shares Fairchild : )} and her footprint in pink.  I liked it so much I did one for myself too : )  Reagan did great keeping secrets and not telling people their gifts, but I could tell it was hard.  She was sooo excited!    

We are usually seriously busy on Christmas Eve and Day. 

Our first stop is my Dad's house on Christmas Eve for dinner and gifts.

Some December crafting and presents...



After Dad's house we head over to the Hawkes house for another dinner.  Presents with them and all Reagan's cousins are on Christmas morning : ) 





One more Christmas post and we'll be set ; )  I will NOT let this go into March if it kills me!
