Ready for Santa....

Christmas Cards hung...I painted clothespins like candy canes and hung them off the ground...great kid proof idea this year

Stocking are hung and stuffed...

look at the stocking my mom made me from when I was little

Starbucks Candy Cane cup in hand...

Gingerbread Cookie Jar full of Aunti Ruppy's cookies...

Fashion Island annual Santa picture framed...He's the best Santa! Jackson is never thrilled

The middle picture is my dad and uncle with Santa in 1951

This year's ornament hung...

depicting what usually happens about half way through the night

Presents finally wrapped and under the tree...

Ready to be opened in the morning,

but Jackson may have started a little early with the paper ripping part.

This Christmas Eve is a little strange with husband at work and mom and Shelby states away, but Jackson and I are very cozy after taking a LONG nap together on the couch and we will be joined by Dana, Ben, and Dett for baked ziti and board games tonight. It doesn't quite feel like Christmas Eve, but we are ready for Santa! Merry Christmas to all my friends and family! We are sending nothing but love from the Holmes' Home to You!
