Santa comes tonight and someone is excited!!!
This is Linnea in her pretty dress by our tree before heading over to Great Grandma's (GG's) for Christmas Eve Day. We did Christmas Eve a little different this year. We had a lunch instead of supper but it was just as fun. Christmas Chicken tastes good any time of day and it's always nice to see the family.
Chris had to work during the day so we held the camera out and took it ourselves!
Happy Birthday to Mommy!
Cheese!
We reserved the Conference Room at GG's for our celebration.
Here is the end of the main meal feast.
And the start of the cookie feast! YUM!
We needed my mom in there for a 4 generation picture...but this is still nice. I should have zoomed in, sorry!
We gave a Linnea a cookie (well, one of many, she just loves them and who doesn't really?) to help her stay in the room while the adults did their gift game/opening.
And then the kiddoes got to open their jammies! Grandma and Grandpa used to always give us jammies on Christmas Eve that we would always change into before leaving their house so we could crawl right into bed and wait for Santa. GG is continuing that tradition with her great grandkids and it's wonderful!
Linnea got a catnap in before 5:00 church. She went right up to the kids sermon with me and seemed interested.
With the help of pencils and paper,
and goldfish Linnea stayed at the church service for almost an hour! but then it was time to go to the nursery and play.
We went to my parents house for potato soup after church which was gobbled up by Megan, Brian, Chris, Linnea, myself and of course mom and dad.
Family pictures by the tree! It's not Christmas without them!
And now the jammies are on. And of course Elmo's Christmas Countdown is also on.
We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and it was a nice birthday for me too!
Don't pay attention to my worried voice on here! How embarrassing but the video is so cute I wanted to post it anyways!
