More Christmas Eve Pics!







Christmas Eve!











Didi and Papa spent the night at our house to help celebrate Christmas eve and experience the magic of Christmas morning. On Christmas Eve, we thought we'd try something new and had fondue for dinner. It was actually quite yummy. We also made cookies and had a cookie-painting party to decorate. I think the adults enjoyed the paiting even more than the kids...according to Maya...we all "got carried away". Later in the evening, the door bell rang and maya and kai discovered a package laying on the doorstep. It containted new jams (a pair each for Maya and kai) and a lovely poem from Elfie...our resident elf who has been residing at the Marten household for the duration of December. This was his second year with us so he's becoming quite the member of the family. We ended the evening with leaving reindeer food on our front snow covered yard, and preparing Santa's cookies and milk. Unfortunately, Cheeks the cat stole a couple of sips of Santa's milk. Don't worry, I poured Santa a clean glass of milk before his arrival.

Tracking Santa!
