Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve our little family went to mass at Our Lady of Lourdes at 4:30.  It was insanely crowded and we ended up in the cry room, thank goodness.  We had plenty of room in there and it was okay if the girls weren't silent.  Following church we met up with most of my dad's side of the family at Bar Louie for dinner.  

My cousin, Sam, Stella and Nana

 After dinner we went back to my parents' house to play games.  Aunt Susan, Sam and Greg got the girls the most ridiculously cute gift....a cheetah print wrap, a glittery purse and a black headband.  They also each got a new game, giant coloring book and Pez.  So generous!

 The girls with Cora.....definitely not interested in pictures anymore.

 The girls with my cousins, Bethany and Sam.

 At 10:00 we went home to get ready for bed and get Santa's snacks and other items set out.  We left him a glass of milk, a cookie, a clementine, and carrots for the reindeer.  Mya also insisted we set their lists out so Santa would know what they wanted.  The bag on the floor is full of items that we left for Santa to take to other children because we don't play with them anymore.

 All the links are gone.  It's finally here!!!!!

 Santa came!
