Christmas Eve is a pretty tradition packed day for the Scholl Family! This year was no different! We take care of the last minute things, grocery store, a little wrapping, and the annual Christmas Eve photo with Santa! We visit Santa at the mall - this year it was Stonebriar. Santa was looking especially cute and healthy with his rosy cheeks! The best part was there was NO LINE!!
Just the kids get in the picture. We missed Ashley, Sam and Parker this year, but were happy to have Rachel join us!
We wandered the mall for a bit, picked up our Chicken Nugget party tray at Chik Fil A and made our way home (in a snow storm- more on that later).
Our traditional Christmas Eve meal is fondue! We've had all kinds of variations over the years, including - oil, broth, cheese, and chocolate! We kept it simple this year, but had a great meal with way too much food.

Then later, Santa stops by and leaves some packages. One for each of us. We can count on Santa each year to bring us some new jammies to wear to bed on Christmas Eve. This year, even with the blowing snow, he made it to our door!

Santa showed great Prosper Spirit this year with matching PJ Pants for everyone!
Plaid Prosper Eagle pajama pants were a hit with this crowd!
We finished the evening with our traditional reading of the beautiful story of the birth of Christ. Jon and I were happy to get to bed earlier than is past years! What a wonderful day.
