Christmas Eve 2015



 Okay the above pictures were not taken on Christmas Eve but I wanted a picture in front of our tree and so the kids held out in their church clothes for a few minutes longer and we captured some good ones. 
Christmas Eve we headed to the North Park Mall and saw the amazing Christmas Train display there. It is also a fundraiser for the Children's Hospital - so you can't beat that. 


 We enjoyed pizza and tamales for dinner and then the traditional opening of Christmas Eve pajamas.


 Those are some happy pajama opening folk!

 I finished Samantha's sock on the 23rd but it did get finished. I love the details. You can not see it well but there is lace on the angel's dress that I hand stitched on. 
 Of all the things in the house, this was what Samantha insisted on playing with that evening. 
 I had to work on Christmas Eve but we were blessed with some carolers from a local church.
This lady had on the strangest skirt and then we were told we needed to watch her as they sang Oh Christmas Tree. Yes, she did a hand stand and that bizarre skirt flipped down and made the tree skirt for the tree which was made from the pant legs.  It was so funny! The picture is blurry because I was laughing. 
Peter valiantly braved these adorable kids on such an exciting night, frosted cookies with the same kids, and then made sure that Santa delivered. 
It was a good Christmas Eve!
