Twas the night before Christmas...

 Since we have been on our own for Christmas the past 2 years, we have decided to savor it a bit more, especially when it come to the gift opening.  We open a few gifts the week of Christmas, and a few Christmas Eve, and then take our time Christmas morning.  Some of the Christmas Eve pictures are below.




 One of the best things we did Christmas Eve was to go caroling at a nursing home.  It's a tradition of our friends and they invited us to go with.  The kids enjoyed it and it really helped bring the Christmas Spirit!  Here is a picture with the kids at the nursing home.


 And finally, the day we had all been waiting for.... CHRISTMAS!
This year, Mayzie proudly made and wrapped her own gifts for us!  They were beautiful pictures!






 After we put Jesus in the manger, one of the kids sweetly arranged all the other figures around him.
 What holiday would be complete without a poopie diaper blow-out?!  Brick got a nice bath and we got to snap some naked baby pics of him.

 Love that baby belly!
 Joe and I made eggplant parmesan for Christmas dinner, it was delicious!
