Only 12 minutes left of Christmas Eve....where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday I was putting up my decorations....and you all know what I'll be doing on Monday! LOL....
Tonight was a lovely evening. We went to the candelight service at church at 8, and it was just beautiful. I love it when all the candles are lit and we sing. It is so peaceful, and such a beautiful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.
Today Betsy went for a bike ride with my aunt whilst I finished up baking the rest of the cookies. I had three different kinds that I wanted to make, but I only got one done. My aunt from NC is here, and she stopped by which meant I stopped baking! LOL. We had a nice visit and will see her tomorrow at our family gathering. I knew that wee one would be anxiously waiting for tomorrow, so I let her open one of her birthday gifts. She got "The Nightmare Before Christmas; Special Edition" movie on dvd....but that wasn't the one I wanted her to open. I also got her "Oogies Revenge" for the ps2....but both packages were the same size and shape....so she ended up opening both of them. Needless to say she was well occupied all day long! JB spent the day outside washing the car and waxing it. I have to say (and it's killing me to do so)....the weather was beautiful. Sunny and mid 60's....it felt like the beginning of spring! I was sitting outside in the rope swing, enjoying the breeze as London chased her ball around the yard. I will never get used to winter here!
Santa has already visited, and I see a pile of presents under the tree. It's amazing that you can spend so much money and have such a small pile! LOL. Still, I think the girls will be very happy with their gifts. I have a feeling that wee one is caught between knowing who Santa is, and wanting to believe who she thought he was. She said to me, "I already know the tooth fairy isn't real." I asked her how she knew and she said, "Well, she forgot me TWO nights in a row!" (Hey, I was really tired!!!!) LOL. I suppose they have to find out sometime....still, it will be a tradition I will miss.
Only 4 minutes left until Christmas Day....so I shall go and dream of sugar plum fairies and such....
Have a Very Merry Christmas my friends!!!!

I can't wait to see pictures from Christmas Day!!
Your sis was probably pinching your husband's bum that's why he is smiling so nicely! LOL! Great pictures, you all looked GORGEOUS!!! Love London's cute face by the way. She would have the rights to sleep on my bed no problem. Now, go and get some much deserved sleep!
Hugs and love,

What a lovely family you have Sherry! Thanks for sharing the pictures and that London is just adorable! Merry Christmas to you and yours from us too! I know what you mean about small piles and so much money. Pretty amazing huh?! I think our kids were happy but I think I should have bought more for Aaron. I always try to make it even for each child but sometimes it works out weird. I'll have to do more on his birthday this year and maybe a huge Easter or something. Hugs,
Lisa
