Last year we started the tradition of making Santa's cookies and Jesus' Birthday cake on Christmas Eve. Ryleigh was excited to start cooking once we got dressed.
She was a big helper mixing the cupcakes up.
She enjoyed licking the chocolate off the beaters!
While the cupcakes were baking we put the reindeer food out in the yard so Santa's reindeer had a treat to eat while Santa was leaving our presents.
Next we started cutting out the cookies for Santa. Ryleigh enjoyed making her own with her rolling pin.
Once the cookies were cooked Gramz and Papa came over and helped decorate the cookies.
Here's the cupcakes for Jesus all iced and ready to eat on Christmas morning.
After we opened presents on Christmas morning we put candles in some of the cupcakes and sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus.
At 1:30 the girls went to the Christmas Eve service at church while daddy headed over to PawPaw and Shea Shea's to get the turkey started.
After church we headed to PawPaw and Shea Shea's
All the cousins: Caleb, Cambrey, Ryleigh and Kaileigh.
The kids had fun seeing if they had been naughty or nice by playing a game on Aunt Coco's phone.

Before dinner we opened our stockings. Ryleigh was excited about everything!
Then we opened presents. She was excited about all the clothes.
She named her baby Reese but calls it her "Sassy baby" because she has a sassy (pacifier).
While we were at PawPaw and Shea Shea's having Christmas with them Gramz and Papa had dinner at the Gaylord! Then we all met back at our house for stockings from Gramz and Papa before going to bed and waiting for Santa.
She liked her little sister Barbies.
Cookies and milk are out for Santa. Now it's time for bed!
