Even though Christkind did not come on the 24th to Ben's family in the USA, we still had a very nice time. We all had pizza together for lunch and played outside after the kids nap. We then dressed up and went to church at 6pm to see Becky and her family light the last candle on the Advent wreath. The kids got to stay in the nursery and played.
We then went to the neighbor's house for their big Christmas party. Lots of people, great food, yummy drinks and a festive atmosphere. And then around 10pm Santa came to visit the party and everybody (little and big kids) got to sit on Santa's lap and got a present.
It was really nice. The kids got into their PJs just before and Lilly was super excited to see Santa. They got some great presents that kept them busy until the next day when they were allowed to open presents from under the tree.
And before we went to bed we laid out some cookies for Santa and made him some chocolate milk. The kids thought that was fun and Finn was determined that Santa only liked chocolate milk :-)
