Christmas Eve

This year's Christmas Eve was even better than our regular, traditional Christmas Eve because Grandpa and Grandma Davis came over for dinner and to celebrate with us.  It was a very enjoyable dinner of beef brisket, mashed potatoes, rolls, salad, cooked carrots, sparkling spider (as Ally calls it) and peach cobbler and ice cream and great company.  After dinner was finished and all cleaned up it was time for the annual Christmas Eve pajamas.  Andrew and Ally were extremely excited and Vanessa, well, I think the pictures say it all.

Andrew and Ally really liked their pajamas

And Vanessa really liked her pajama bottoms.

It took a little while and some coaxing by Dad,

but we finally got her in her shirt and got a picture of the three of them together.

Okay, so it's not the greatest picture, but it was the best I could get with Vanessa.  We enjoyed watching some of The Christmas Story with the kids and Grandpa and Grandma and then it was off to bed for the kids.
 

Santa had it pretty easy this year, only one thing to put together.  Woohoo!!  After getting the presents wrapped and under the tree

it was off to bed for Dad and Mom too.  We missed a few of our traditions this year because we ran out of time but it still was a fabulous Christmas Eve.
