Christmas eve

This year Christmas eve was a little bit different for us because Daddy had to work all night.  So although our tradition is usually to play games, eat yummy food, and spend time doing Christmas things we changed it up a bit so we could all be together (as much as possible).  After all isn't that what is the fun part?  We spent the day together hanging out, and hey we got what I think is our first family photo of the year!

 Later that night we all headed to Daddy's work and spent the night...

 Bowling!!  I think Uncle David won every game, but we all had fun.  We ate dinner in the restaurant there and Daddy was able to eat with us (when he wasn't running out to fix a problem).  When it was getting late we left Daddy at work and headed home to decorate our cookies for Santa.  Sadi taste tested many cookies (to make sure they were safe of course).

 I think Santa got the most decorated cookies ever!

We watched a short movie and read our final Christmas book "Twas the night before Christmas", and then it was time to hang the stockings or for Sadi try it on once again to make sure it still fits!  I think in a year or so it will be time to get a bigger stocking.

And FINALLY it was time to dream of sugar plums and hope that Santa would come!
