For the last ten years we have spent every Christmas Eve Evening at Tad's Mom's house! We look forward to it every year...we know exactly what to expect...wonderful food spread out on the counter in the basement, a roaring fire, Christmas movies, laughing and teasing, opening jammies, exchanging gifts and chocolate fondue!!! The only thing that changes is the new spouses and the new kids!
It was so much fun watching Lily and Trey this year. They are only 9 months apart and we could not separate them. Wherever Trey went Lily followed and vise versa! They were caught under Grandma's tree several times (shhhh Grandma doesn't know :)), they locked themselves in the bathroom (both just recently potty trained) claiming to have to go to the bathroom, they were hiding under Grandma and Grandpa's blankets, both clinging onto either end of a slinky and chasing each other around, going up and down the stairs ten million times and when one wasn't with the other they would look around and ask where they were. It isn't just Trey that adores Lily ( & Kylie), Cutes and Lips want to be with them all of the time! They want to hold, hug, snuggle, and play with them all of the time! Obviously I couldn't put my camera down! They were all so cute!
The kids all loved their PJ's and slippers! This year I made all of them Quillows and "snuggies"(which are heatable rice packs!). Grandma and Grandpa spoiled them with an art computer game from Fisher Price! Tad got his very own cotton candy machine! Anyone that knows Tad knows that he loves candy. Thanks everyone for such a wonderful night! It was a blast! By the time we got back home the kids were fast asleep. Cutes woke up for a minute to tell me that she was so excited that she couldn't get her heart to stop beating! I swear when they were all soundly asleep, I could picture the sugar plums dancing in their heads!
