Christmas Eve ended with a trip over to the service at church, our home filled with family for our annual Christmas Eve appetizer/dessert buffet, and two little girls putting on new Christmas pajamas and heading off to dream of sugarplums.
Somebody had to guard the food from greedy little fingers (an early gift from my brother-in-law, Mike).
Christmas morning was filled with lots of torn wrapping paper, excited squeals, and traveling around town to make appearances at the in-laws' place and my mom's home.
Mike's dog, Tyke, got into the Christmas spirit and dressed as Saint Nick for the morning.
By the time we made it to my mom's house in the afternoon, everyone was ready for a nap!
But we rallied to enjoy a late lunch/early dinner and open gifts together.
My long hours sewing paid off, because SuSu loved her apron that I made!
It's always a wonderful Christmas when the gifts that you've put time and thought into are enjoyed!
More on the "loot" later this week. (wink wink) Santa was good to us this year!
