Christmas Eve

Monday, 12/24/12

The night is finally here!!! Though I will have to say the girls were sad to see our Elf on the Shelf, Joy Jingle, fly back to the North Pole with Santa... we assured them he'd be back next year. :)  No time for pics before church... so here we are afterwards.

Grammy & Papa Jim came over again for dinner... super fun :)  Here we are trying to get a picture with them.

and again...

and again!!! :)

New jammies & playdough for the girls on Christmas eve night...

And then lots of tickles & cuddles... it was very sweet.

LeaAnn though, preferred to read to herself. (of course ;)

Like Lydia's running 'stance' - she was giving Chris 'tae-to' hugs... it was tomato-hugs, but she turned them in to tae-to ;)

Still reading to herself...

She finally caved and let Grammy help her :)

Next it was Lydia's turn...

I had to keep the whole series... too adorable not too.

What a ham... such a lover.

Here's what Joy Jingle did his final night at the house :) he's so clever.

Then it was Ms. Lindsay's turn on Grammy's lap...

story telling of course :)

and last but not least, Lauren had a turn :)

Here they are showing Grammy our Alpine Village Advent calendar (thanks Mimi!)

Such a sweet night, thanks so much for coming over Grammy & Grandpa!
