Christmas Eve & Other Misc Christmas Fun

 Misty and Eric came over for our gift exchange the weekend before Christmas bc they weren't sure if they were gonna make it to my parent's on Christmas day. We got a wild hair up our butt and decided to go decorate Renee's car as a surprise. She's constantly talking crap on facebook about the people who decorate their cars with wreaths and rudolph so we thought it would be hilarious. And it was!!


Then we decided to take the kids to look at lights bc we were running out of time and Christmas was almost here and the kids LOVE seeing lights on houses. So we went by this lovely, hideous house in Oildale. Then we headed out to Hagen Oaks to check out the lights. However it was a Sunday night and it was packed. We were stuck in a line for about 30 minutes where the Dustin's Diner line was and people were waiting to buy hot chocolate. We finally were able to turn down a street and escape the line. The kids were getting really fussy and starting to whine and cry. 
I gave them each a baggy of M&M's to enjoy and I took them away half way through waiting and Jack got really quite and we look back and apparently he had dropped some in his seat or had some stashed in his hand and he was COVERED in chocolate. It was so darn funny! 

Misty & Eric got Hudson his very first presents. Cute little shoes and Monster's Inc jammies. And they got Jack his very first Batman car set, with Batman jammies, and Toy Story Jammies. Clara got Minnie Mouse & Tinker Bell jammies that she's obsessed with. They also got me a basket of goodies that included a fun hot dog cutter!

Pops McGee got Clara a Leap Pad 2 for Christmas. She LOVES it and calls it her ipad. It's the cutest thing!
They also really enjoyed the box the leap pad came in. They played with it for a few days till it finally broke. 
Baby Booties!!

It's tradition to spend Christmas Eve with our McGee side of the family. However Clara ended up with a fever and was not feeling good at all. I didn't want to take her out in the cold and spread her germs to everybody. Mike took Jack with him over to Jack & Sharon's. Audra got a really great picture of the family together. 
This is another cute one of Mike & Jack at the McGee's. 

When Mike & Jack got back home, I had been busy dealing with a sick girl and was exhausted that I never made homemade cookies for Santa. That was Clara and I's plan but she wasn't moving from the couch. So we got out our stale Chips Ahoy and made do. Clara & Jack colored Santa a picture and left him 3 cookies and milk. I had purchased Clara Christmas pajamas the year before after Christmas on clearance for $4 and Jack some jammies on sale at Kohls. We had to cut the feet off his footy pajamas bc he was freaking out about it and crying and pulling on his feet.
