On Christmas Eve, Santa always comes a little early to deliver PJ's to the kids so that they can look nice on Christmas morning when opening presents. The kids love this tradition and here they are with their new jams on!
It was cooking all day for JT as he prepared the food for the Swedish smorgasbord. We tried to make it as close as we could to the one the we have every year down in Nashville. As far as I could tell, we had everything, even the head cheese (mom drove an extra 20 miles on her way up to pick it up for us)! We might just leave off the head cheese next year as well as a few other things. It might be time to change it up a bit. The red cabbage and head cheese are on the chopping block. JT made really great meatballs (mom even said they were awesome and JT gets to be an honorary Swedish chef)! We combined Christmas Eve with the Dean's, so they got their first taste of the Swedish smorgasbord. I am not 100% sure of there reaction! Oh well, they will just have to get use to it, since it is a yearly thing!
Just waiting for the hot stuff!
Then JT read The Night Before Christmas and the kids were off to bed to eagerly await Santa's arrival. Skylar really could not sleep because she was so excited! It was so cute and really reminded me of being a kid!
