Merry Christmas!!

Yesterday we finally got the gingerbread house made and last minute shopping done.

Today was spent doing some last minute cleaning, finally getting my fudge made and going to our lovely Christmas Eve service at church. After our traditional supper at Olive Garden we came back here and exchanged gifts with some friends of our's. Then we set out Santa's snack, read the true Christmas story and then "T'was the Night before Christmas". The kids are still all hyped up and can't seem to settle down. *sigh* You gotta love it!!

I know you all want to see photos of these goings on...








Clown and Princess work together to organise a drawer in one of the bathrooms.



Jock sweeps...



Ready for church...





As you can see by a few shots, Princess is quite grouchy and seems to be behind on her sleep. As I finish this post, Clown has laid a sleeping bag on the floor of Jock's bedroom and seems to be camping out in there. Princess had hoped to sleep in her new horsey sleeping bag that she opened today from her Poppa in SC. She wanted to sleep in Cryptic and Clown's bedroom but then Clown decided to be with Jock. So Cryptic, sweetheart that he is, told Princess to get her sleeping bag ready in the Rec Room and he would put in a Christmas movie out there and they can fall asleep watching that.

Have a wonderful holiday with plenty of good food and good times with loved ones!

What a gorgeous lot you have! Funny, my daughter wore the exact same dress with her photo with Santa as princess has on, except you know, in the infant size. We both just have great taste!
