Best Christmas Ever!























We had an excellent Christmas this year! It was miss Libby's first and although we miss our families, we are content spending holidays with just the four of us and the Christmas spirit was over-flowing this year.
We had a fabulous dinner at Ruth Chris Steakhouse. (Love it; they have the best food.) We dressed the girls up in their cute Christmas outfits and headed out on Christmas Eve. After dinner, we opened our traditional one gift per person and left the rest for Christmas morning. Then Chloe set out the reindeer food. To our surprise, Chloe fell asleep just about as soon as her head hit the pillow.
On the big day we had to wake-up Chloe! We couldn't believe it. She, however, couldn't sleep that night for fear that the toys would be gone the day after Christmas. On Christmas day we stayed in our PJ's all day, ate leftovers, listened to music, talked to relatives on the phone, and played for 12 hours- basically from 8 to 8. Thanks Santa! We can't wait for next year!

Good Times!


                             (See C's best Renee Zellweger impression below. lol.)

We haven't fully decorated our tree yet but we're working on it. We've already whipped out the Christmas aprons and baked sugar cookies and decorated with various colorful sprinkles- C loves doing this. My little baker!
We're truly looking forward to Christmas as Santa comes every year at our house.....this year is extra special because it's Libby's first. We're going to get back into the kitchen before Christmas day and make some more cookies for Santa and also leave some food out for his reindeer. We may, however, forgo the proverbial milk with the cookies....and serve up some Christmas cheer with eggnog and cookies.......I think Santa deserves a little extra Christmas spirit this year for all of his hard work, don't you? Cheers!
