Christmas Eve

Every year we celebrate Christmas Eve with my mom & sister and this year was no different.  My mom came up in the early afternoon and we put my new kitchen to good use, making a true holiday feast! It was so nice to be able to spend this very special time with them, we had such a great day together full of laughter, great food, and lots of fun. The girls of course loved having their Gran there to celebrate with, and EJ in particular enjoyed exchanging presents (and putting on her adorable new Christmas PJs!)

 So special to celebrate this sweet baby girl's first Christmas!

This is the first year that Everett has really understood Christmas, and how very fun, exciting, and special it made it for us. She very carefully set out the plate with Santa's cookies and 9 baby carrots for his 9 reindeer.

A Christmas Story to Nora. It's a
Christmas tradition!
The girls made the "Nice" list this year and that means Santa came for a visit!

Both girls got enormous Sock Monkeys
and plush snuggle blankets, plus a few "extras"
specific to them!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a GOOD NIGHT!
