Now that we're back in our home state, we rejoined the tradition of going to Gigi & Bubba's on Christmas eve. We had a wonderful meal of salad, steak, shrimp, and baked potatoes; and Ginger's famous Apple Pie and Red Velvet cake for dessert. Then, it was the time the kids had been waiting for...PRESENTS!!!

found snowflake and his note
Dear Reagan and Cooper,
Today's my last day, I must say good-bye.
Tonight I must go, to the North Pole I'll fly.
But Santa will be here with gifts and good cheer,
and I will be back the same time next year.
So be a good boy and girl, and take care of yourself-
remember the fun times you had with Snowflake the Elf.
But above all else, remember what's true,
That God sent us Jesus, a gift that never leaves you.
Love,
Snowflake
set out cookies for Santa
Cooper was not happy that he couldn't have a cookie!
The kids received so many great gifts tonight ~ rain coats, snow boots (hopefully we'll get to use them soon!), games, toys, season passes. We are so blessed!
Thanks Gigi, Bubba, Ginger & Alan
