Christmas Eve

Before we headed out to Grandma's house for Christmas Eve we had to make Santa cookies, which Alekisio said had to be chocolate chip. Naomi bought some really cute aprons for us to wear, Sio's was super cute. He loved making cookies and wearing his santa hat.


After making cookies we dressed the kids in their christmas outfits and went to our Grandma Levenhagen's house and had our traditional christmas eve with lasagna where we ate two different but equally yummy lasagnas.

Then Santa came. Alekisio LOVED that. When Santa left he tried to follow him outside to see his reindeer. Luckily I was able to stop that so he ran directly to the front window to see if he could see them fly away, that picture is on Aunt Connie's camera. He keeps telling everyone that Santa gave him a football.



After we opened presents Alekisio had tons of fun rough housing with Matt. He also decided to marry Matt's girlfriend Promise. The next night this was our conversation:

Me: Why do you want to marry Promise?
Sio: Because she's pretty.
Me: I thought you wanted to marry me.
Sio: You have to wait in the line.

Boys are so fickle. That's alright, at least he has good taste.

At Grandma's everyone also danced on tv with Alekisio's new video camera toy, and enjoyed Isabelle. It was really nice to be home for Christmas Eve. I miss it every year!
