Christmas Eve

We had such a neat Christmas Eve this year.  My sister Janae and her family were here and it was so fun to have additional family to do things with.  We went to my parent's house for dinner and a program.  We had a great shepherd's dinner of sandwiches and soup.  Then we had a program.  I did a little puppet show with the kids that Chanelle had made for me.  It was a huge hit, we had songs with it and I read about the first christmas.  Then we watched a video and then the kids sang a beautiful song about Jesus, that Janae taught them.  The spirit was so strong and it really helped us to remember the true meaning of Christmas.  Afterward the kids opened a present and of course it was pajamas.  They were store bought, I wasn't about to attempt making pjs on top of everything else going on.  I am really trying to not stress myself out with trying to do too much.  And Lizzy got feet jammies and Nellie got Hello Kitty and Janie got Dora.  they certainly wouldn't have liked ones I made more than those. 

I like Janie's gangsta pants.

The girls had so much fun with their cousins.  It is always so exciting when we have cousins come and visit.  I am so glad that my kids love their cousins so much, what a blessing.

Jane was so excited to get a Dora nightgown, her last one was basically a shirt, it had gotten so small her little buns were practically hanging out. This one is so cute it hangs all the way to the ground.  She calls it her "long Dora nightgown" and I have to make sure that it is clean at night or there is hell to pay. She actually will not wear any other pajamas now.

Lizzy loves feet pajamas so we got her some cute penguin ones.

Nellie was over the moon with her new obsession Hello kitty pajamas.  When Nellie likes something she goes all out obsession mode.  I forgot to get one of Russell that night but he got some cute polar bear and penguin jammies from my sister Erica and so we gave him those for Christmas.
