Well, Reba and Grandma went and out did themselves again. :D The food was amazing as well as the lovely place settings. Thank you so much for the yummy breakfast and fun game playing. (We missed Grandpa like crazy...he was sick and stayed home this time. :( )
We open our gifts and celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve night. Our evening began waiting for Daddy to come home. 
I think we gave him 15 minutes to settle into some comfy clothing and the present opening began. :D
I've only included a couple pics of our evening...as there were lots taken. The last few are of Sammie with her gift from Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Andrea....make-your-own lip gloss. We laughed as we tried to mix it together and bottle it before it cooled and set up. Very cool and fun gift! Alex has yet to take a bath and try her make-your-own bath spa kit they sent, but that should be equally fun! Thank you to all extended family members for your gifts. We love you all. Have a very Happy Holiday Season. :)
At our office party, a co-worker named Kim, got me these lovely new additions to my snowman collection along with a cute t-shirt that says, "I'm not short, I'm fun size!" LOL I really love my job. I'm so blessed.
Today we all donned holiday hats and wished everyone a Merry Christmas. :D Good times. Off course I was the only elf in the bunch, but please...at my height...could I be anything else?!?!?! :D
...we purchased our tree from our local third generation farm. Everyone in the family loves it, including Callie! :D
Sammie was soooooo excited for tonight! :D She was absolutely beautiful. I went up the walk just get some pics of everyone. I can't wait until she comes home to hear all about it. :D Parenthood is the best!
Sammie had her Jazz Band and Full Band Concert last night. She was amazing! She soloed in the middle of one song during jazz band. Then the Saxophone section stood up during the full band section and wowed us some more! It was such a wonderful evening. Good job Sammie!:)
Oh, my, word! Alex was fabulous! :D We had such fun watching her perform with the chorus tonight. She's getting so big. And we have our first snow tonight too! :) I took a picture of one of the wreaths on our doors tonight as well. The girls and I are going to string some fresh cranberries and add them to the wreaths, but we haven't gotten around to it yet.
