Normally, Christmas Eve is spent at Mom and Dad's house. This year, however, we spent it at the Rehab Center. Dad was still in treatment for his stroke at the Rehab. So, we reserved the family room and the family set up a tree and carried on just like we were at their house. Dad was thrilled to have everyone, especially the great grand babies, up there. We had a gift exchange (with Reagan as the delivery girl) and sang Christmas carols. Reagan was especially fond of Happy Birthday to Jesus. Each time the song ended she would clap and say "again!" Too precious!

After the gift exchange at the Rehab. We went back to Nana and Papa's house for dinner. Granny, Opa, and Auntie Leah came over too. We ate and visited for a while until it was time to go to home and get ready for Santa.

Finally, a picture of Aaron and I!
Good finger!
Meanwhile...back at home...
We were preparing for Santa's arrival! KZ elf would head back to the North Pole for the last time this year so Reagan took the opportunity to say good-bye and Merry Christmas. He was a crazy thing. Always seemed to show up in unexpected places! But, he sure was good at his job. He kept Reagan in line!
Adam saying bye-bye to elf.
After elf was taken care of...it was time to take care of "Teetah" (Santa). We put cookies on a plate and I asked Reagan what she wanted to give him to drink. Apple Juice, of course!
After everything was in place...it was off to bed!
...And to all a Goodnight!
