THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Christmas Eve

The kids and I spent Christmas Eve morning, getting the house cleaned up and ready for the big day.  Our celebration kicked off with dinner at BJ's Restaurant with a few families that we adore.  Reservations were for 3:00pm so we could beat the rush. Mia stole my camera from me when we first arrived, and snapped a bunch of silly pictures.










 After the kids finished eating, they started to get really WILD so I was glad to get out of there.  We headed to the Stuart's house to decorate some cookies for Santa!







Then they acted out the Nativity.  It's always so adorable!





Every year the kids get a new set of pajamas on Christmas Eve.  The kids were excited to alter the tradition this year, by opening the presents with their friends.  



After this photo we hurried home, said our prayers, read a Christmas Story, and went to bed.
