Christmas Eve 2010

My dad and Sister came in to town on Christmas Eve. Before heading over to my Mom's for dinner, we all baked and decorated cookies for Santa. Bella was really in to it and insisted on cutting out each cookie. I gave Bella the rest of the cookie dough to roll out and play with, which she did for over 20 minutes. When the cookies were done, her and Eric decorated them. We explained to her that they were for Santa and that he would eat the when he came to drop off her presents that night.

We then got dressed in our pajamas and headed to Nino Stevie's house to visit him and his family. We try and go every year to his house to see his Dad for his birthday as well as visit everyone for Christmas. Bella had some fun running around with Steve's nephew Ben. She and him always seem to get along great.

Next, we headed to Nannie's house for dinner and to open gifts as we do every year. Mom made shrimp fettucine, salad, and bread. Bella ate every single bite, it was very yummy! Then it was gift time!! The kids were of course spoiled rotten and we had a great time! We came home to put the kids to bed and put together Santa gifts. It was a great day...
