Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve afternoon Mommy finished getting all the food and desserts ready just in time for Uncle TJ to come by and give the kids their presents. He actually made one gift (Jake's Dinosaur) a Hanukkah gift because a few days earlier in the car Taryn had said to Mommy and Daddy, "When do I get my Hanukkah present... Cosmo at school got a dinosaur for Hanukkah." It took Mommy a lot of explaining and I still don't think Taryn gets it, but I guess that is what happens when you go to school at First Hebrew Nursery School :)

After presents with Uncle TJ, Mommy tried a dress on Taryn that she never got to wear last year to see if it would fit this year. It did not, but Taryn refused to take it off saying she was Cinderella and going around like the princesses did at the princess breakfast in Disneyland asking if we wanted our picture taken with her and an autograph.

Then Mama, Papa, Aunt Angela and Uncle Jim came over to exchange gifts. The kids LOVED everything especially the American Girl Doll and Workbench.

Then they headed over to Aunt Ginny's for Christmas Eve with the Bruno's. It was so much fun, there was so much food and Laura even brought a gingerbread house to make with the kids!
