Christmas Eve Trip...

We took a little trip to Monroeville and to Beatrice on Christmas Eve.

Our first stop was at Mawmaw and Pawpaw Hutcherson's house.

Both kids were asleep when we got there, so I forgot to take my camera

in. Pawpaw gave both kids a football. Our next stop was at Uncle Danny and

Aunt Carolyn's house. The kids had a great time playing with the reindeer car

and the dancing Santa. Aunt Carolyn was great to give both kids popsicles and

suckers for the road. We also got to see Mack and Kim and took a quick peek

at baby Carter. Our trip then took us to Beatrice to see Aunt Ruby. I don't

think I have missed very many Christmas Eves in Beatrice except for being sick

or pregnant. This is such a tradition in my family. We made a quick stop at

Grandmama's house and headed home before the weather got bad.

AK with Aunt Ruvey as she calls her.

Maddie was not feeling well and stayed at home.

Cheese!!!

When we got home we put out the reindeer food for Rudolf.

What a mess!!

Nick thought we needed more.

We then decorated a few cookies for Santa.

We usually leave carrots for Rudolf, but we had to improvise and leave him

some lettuce. Hope reindeer like salad mix!!
