Christmas Eve was a nice relaxing day. There was a fresh blanket of snow that morning and bright sunshine streaming through the windows.
Jared knew that the kids would want to set out cookies for Santa that night and so he took it upon himself to ensure that Santa got some freshly baked and chewy chocolate chip cookies. He said, "I am an expert on what Santa likes, and chocolate chip cookies are his favorite."
You have to put a lot of love into the cookies, and that means kisses in between cooking the batches.
That evening, we went over to Jared's parents house and enjoyed a delicious soup and rolls traditional dinner.
We then exchanged some family gifts to each other. Some of the Heath cousins, we were missing Chad and Des's family who went to San Diego for Christmas. Poor Eli was the only boy there. It's a good thing that he plays well with all the girls.
Eli, Lexie, Lainey, Kenzie, Libby, and Jordyn
Opening up their special presents from Aunt Heidi. She's in New Zealand but she always sends the nicest things to her nieces and nephews....Thanks Aunt Heidi!
Jordyn carries around Lola the monkey non stop now (Lola is wrapped in the big blue bag in Jordyn's lap. Lexie has made a whole bunch of super cute headbands from the headband Kit and Kenzie has been decorating and bead-dazzling her special journal too, such great gifts!)

I thought putting love into the cookies meant you had to kiss the dough??? That's what I do when I make them.
