Christmas Eve

Well the morning of Christmas Eve we took a trip to Doctor's Care. Lily was coughing a little and complaining of her ear, so I figured it was an ear infection. So glad we took care of it before the big day and an airplane trip to NY!

We made cookies for Santa the night before. This was the first year we tried to shape them ourselves and Grace really enjoy it. Next time we need to use a little less dough for each shape (and I could use some new cookie sheets)...

We decorated the cookies on Christmas Eve....

 We ate our traditional Shrimp and Grits...

 

 Lily found the pickle in the tree ( a German tradition) which

 means she was able to open the first present...

Sisters...

I will cherish this...

Giving Gifts...

My Loves

Feeding the Reindeer

Drinking  hot chocolate out of "real" mugs and watching

 The Polar Express, another Christmas Eve tradition...

We had a fun family day and can't wait to see the girls reaction to Santa's gifts... Merry Christmas!!
