This is our first Christmas Eve in our own house. We decided to create some traditions. This year we invited Papa and Grandma over for supper and a special celebration. Laura cooked a wonderful meal. After we ate Papa and Grandma helped the girls decorate cookies. Allie and Haley ate most of the icing and decorations. Later we read Luke 2 while the girls acted it out. Haley was Mary, Allie was Joseph, and Emily was baby Jesus. Emily did an excellent job. Haley won an Emmy for best actress for her "pregnant" walk. Allie ate off of the stable floor and contracted a rare disease, typical Allie. To end the tradition Papa read, "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and the girls listened intently. They loved it. We had a wonderful Christmas eve. We all had a lot of fun.
Thanks Grandma and Papa.
Papa made the eyes. Look at the concentration.
Haley and Allie ate the icing. Yes, they double dipped.
Grandma helped ice the sugar cookie gingerbread man.
Haley designed her own outfit, nice huh?
Enthralled.
Thank you Papa.
We always knew Papa had a Green Thumb.
The girls wanted a sad gingerbread man. Papa made a frown.
