Christmas Eve 2013

Christmas Eve was one busy day as always.  Here's the lowdown in pictures:

1) Saying good-bye to the Advent Calendar


2) Saying good-bye to Tuck...I know the kids are not supposed to touch him but I just had to let her say good-bye. She was very sad and I believe even shed a tear.







3) Writing more letters to Santa



4) Sprinkling reindeer food on the front lawn




Natural wreath I made
5) Leaving cookies and milk for Santa with a note




6) Caroling: We started at Gammy and Granddaddy's house, next to Mrs. Cook's (piano teacher), then to Keith and Debbie's (old neighbors), and last to Ava's.  While at Gammy's we got to see Baba.  At Keith and Debbie's she asked to play on their Grand Piano.  She sat right down and played the part of Jingle Bells she knows by heart.  They were very impressed and she was very excited to play on that special piano.  They really enjoyed our visit and said we made their whole Christmas Eve.  I was really happy that we were able to squeeze in some caroling and start our own tradition by bringing back a somewhat lost art.  At Ava's she was able to give her the gift we got for her.






7) Christmas Eve at Aunt Linda's with Dad's side of the family
