This year, the girls were lucky to have both sets of grandparents here to help us prepare for Santa's big arrival with a little Christmas Eve cheer. It was a perfectly relaxing night for all.
 |
| Gigi brought materials to help the girls make sugar cookies to leave out for Santa. The little Grace elves helped prepare just the perfect combination of cookie, frosting, and sprinkles.... or better to say frosting, sprinkles and cookie. haha |
 |
| Now on to preparing the table for the feast... Steve had a great idea. We had Fish Company clam chowder for dinner. It turned out to be the perfect meal for the evening. Not too much to make one overly full. And no mess since mommy is on crutches and isn't much help for cooking or cleaning. |
 |
| Talking politics...like always |
 |
| Gettin' some special Nona time... |
 |
| And some special Gigi time... |
 |
| Just the boys! |
 |
| A surprise visitor! Coach Hailey came by to drop off some Christmas goodies! |
 |
| And the girls had a present for her too! |
 |
| "Smile!" |
 |
| Time to open the special Christmas Eve jammies. Thanks to Gigi for getting them for the girls this year! |
 |
| Dinner was super yummy! |
 |
| Momma even made it to the table in the wheelchair! |
 |
| Time for reindeer food compliments of Mrs. Baker's kindergarten class. |
 |
| We made the girls roll up their pants so they wouldn't get soaked in the grass. Ryan even completed her outfit with Nona's blazer... |
 |
| The 2011 Christmas jammies |
 |
| Hunkering down watching a Christmas show before bedtime! Good night little princesses! Sleep tight so that Santa can come tonight (quickly!) |

LMG, from what I see in the background of these pix's ... you orchestrated a beautiful Christmas (pre-surgery) and the family was blessed to have Santa's helpers come in and help out.

Gigi was the big hit of the night, having put together a 'Cookie Baking activity with the girs". Both Ryan and Charlie loved every minute of the baking event. Good job Gigi!
