Twas' the Night Before Christmas...

We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house this year. The night started off with a dinner of yummy enchiladas and salad. Then into the family room for the reading of the Christmas story from the Bible read by Papa. My family can't get together without bustin' out some Christmas carols and drinking eggnog. It was a fun evening spending time with family.

Mama and Jenna
You will rarely see her these days without some kind of cracker in her hand.
It is one of her favorite words to say too.

William is such a cutie!
This smile gets me every time!

Two of my beautiful sisters!

So sweet and innocent!

My mama, sis Alyson, and me

I love family traditions, especially at the holidays.
One of ours is making Christmas cookies and frosting them with
blue, pink, yellow, or green frosting.
LOVE it!

Shannon and Claire Bear
I tried to get a picture of Claire looking at me all night,
but she wouldn't do it!
Little stinker!

Reading has become quite the regular past time at family get togethers.

"Cheese!"
In her cute Christmas jammies!

Notice that Jenna is in a rocking chair in the last two pictures.
She's obsessed.
Hopefully Santa will bring one to her for Christmas! ;)
