This year it was just the four of us for Christmas Eve. The last few years my parents have come and spent the night with us but this year they stayed home. We had a fun night and I'm extremely grateful that we had decided to make it easy on ourselves and order the bulk of our dinner from Honey Baked Ham...due to the tornados/24 hours without power we ended up not even being able to finish all the baking I normally do and even Christmas presents for Andy's family. Anyways, so we had a nice meal and we juggled feeding both kids. It was a little wild but we laughed. We chalked it up to this is our normal right now and it won't be like this every year. (Very true.)
Afterwards, we got the kids ready for bed and I wanted to do Christmas Eve pictures. Well, Avi-Cakes was on board with this but AG was not. The first photo is the only one I snapped of him smiling. (Have I mentioned that he's almost three?! And that we are experiencing the joys of being three daily?! Ha. Never a dull moment.) After pictures and treats we got the kids settled. Andy and I watched Home Alone 2 since we watched Home Alone the night before while we wrapped presents. Then it was off to bed so that Santa could come...
Merry, Merry Christmas! It's been a roller coaster of a year and we are grateful for all that we have learned. Looking forward to 2012 with much hope.
