CHRISTmas Eve!

Although there was not a sign or even a hint or feel of snow outside, we still enjoied our Christmas Eve.
Our family picture...

A tradition started by Daddy's Mamaw, we get one present on Christmas Eve-- Pajamas! Isn't Elsie's reaction priceless? She held that pose and made and "ooooo!" sound for literally 8 seconds or more! She loves her piggy pajamas. :-D

This was also very cute-- we told them to line up in front of the tree for pictures and they held hands and faced the camera smiling HUGE smiles! :-D By the time we got the camera on the right settings, though, they were almost through.

The wonderful Clarke family came over yesterday as well for an early dinner, to bring us their second van to use because ours is a bit banged up, and to go to the Christmas Eve service at our church.

I found this picture a bit humorous. :-D

For whatever reason, it seems like it was a much tighter fit this time compared to other times they have come over for dinner. Maybe we're all growing? :-D We had to use 3 tables! (and Daddy found it funny that it looked like Emma and Rachel were sitting on the table behind them. :-D)
