{Christmas Eve}

so happy that not only my parents were here for Christmas but my brother and his family made the long drive from MD to be with us too. the more the merrier over the holidays am i right?




aubrey was super excited to dance with michael...and sneaking a kiss was front and center on her mind. she had us all cracking up!! not sure how michael felt about it...??!:)




she's still at it...




can i just say now that fixing the settings on my camera and paying attention to my photos was waaaaaay on the bottom of my list this Christmas. sadly! i almost cried when i looked at them all.:( i will blame it on all kinds of things but the bottom line is i'm bummed and disappointed in myself. a perfect reminder to slow the heck down!!! :) next year i'm really gonna try and do better!


::christmas eve jammies and books::



::appetizers for dinner::


early presents from mimi and poppy helped make this already magical night even more special!


 this year janey got mimi some yarn and wrote her a note promising her some free crochet lessons and riley made poppy a crossword puzzle. loved that! one of my favorite memories with my dad is doing the crossword puzzle together every sunday morning. 


aubrey needed to get to bed before those other wild and crazy kiddos so we snuck upstairs for our own private reading of the night before christmas. it was warm and snuggly and quiet. and perfect.



see you christmas morning baby.

as for these guys...yo yo...
silly x 3




"...but i heard him exclaim 'ere he drove out of sight...merry christmas to all and to all a good night!"
