Opening up Christmas Eve Presents

After our walk to Subway, we went to the 5pm Christmas Eve Service at our church.   We followed this with dinner at home and opening up one present.   Of course, we chose the present with the pajamas in it.   They were excited with the pajamas until we had them pose together for a picture in front of the Christmas tree.

 
 

(Insert temper tantrum from two tired kiddos here. 
But thankfully, we came out of it to continue the evening.)

We then celebrated Jesus's birthday with a star cake that was beautifully decorated by Alex and Aubrey.
Of course, every birthday cake has to have a candle to blow out.

Finally, Alex and Aubrey wanted to leave Santa Claus some birthday cake and milk instead of cookies.  They also left the reindeer some carrots and oats.

Then  they went to sleep so that Santa Claus could arrive.
