Christmas Eve

We have the most amazing landlord.  She lives in the states, but her mother, father, & 2 sisters live here in Germany next door to us, & just down the street.  We call her parents Opa & Oma & just adore them.  We caroled at their house & while we were there, they invited us to join them for their Christmas Eve choir performance at the local church in the village.  Of course we wanted to experience culture & we went & saw Opa sing in the choir.  I'm so glad we gave the kids an opportunity to experience different religion that ours, in a different language than ours, in a different place than ours.


After church we came home & ate our Christmas Eve dinner (ham, funeral potatoes, green bean casserole, & pie), & then settled down for a Christmas movie.  While we were watching our movie, Craiger heard sleigh bells in my bedroom & when we investigated we found 8 packages on my bed with my window wide open.  Santa had snuck into our room & placed Christmas Eve presents on my bed.  The kids were SO excited to see what he brought.

Pajamas of course!

This year he brought us all onesies which were hilarious.  I got the evil queen from Snow White.



Canyon got Mario pj's (of course).


Craiger got the most adorable astronaut pj's.


Bladen became a raptor when he put his pj's on.


And Taya obviously got a rainbow unicorn.


Lorien & Cadence (being the tag team that they are) got Stitch & Angel for their pajamas.



And Trek got Buddy the Elf pajamas.  SO FUNNY.









What a fun Christmas Eve surprise.


We watched Santa Claus 2 in our new pj's & then headed to bed early so Santa could come visit. What an exciting night.
