Christmas Eve Traditions

We have adopted the Sanford tradition of driving around on Christmas Eve and looking at the lights. This year we went down to the Blossom Light Festival. It is 2 miles of lights you drive through.

We opened up one present each - Christmas Pajamas, changed into our jammies and drove around. We usually find some poor gas station to hit up and get egg nog and chocolate milk and Diet Coke for me. Don't be jealous of my nostrils, double chin, and no make up...sexy!
We get home and put out cookies for Santa and celery and carrots for the Reindeer. Hailee left Santa a note just to be sure he knew what we wanted:
Dear Santa Clase,
Daddy, Mommy, and us, have been very good this year. Daddy wants a J.P.S. for his car. But, he thinks it's to expensive. Mommy wishes for us to be happy. Braden wants a car. Bennett would like anything!!! I would like Biscuit from Target. Well these are for you exept for the celery and carrots. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!! (you can take the note if you want)
Love,
Hailee, Braden, and, Bennett
Another tradition from the Sanfords is doing a stocking dance. Every person gets a turn to hang up their stocking on the fire place but you have to do a dance to get it there.
By the way...I realize Bennett isn't in any of these pictures. He fell asleep on the way home and well, that's just what happens when you are a baby. Sorry Bennett.
