Christmas Eve/Day!

Once again we were so blessed with a beautiful Christmas! We had my parents staying with us. Pa and Daddy fixed a bunch of stuff around the house for me which I was very thankful for and we all built a gingerbread house together on Christmas Eve Day! We also did A LOT of baking and prepping for Christmas Eve dinner which we had Grandma over for.

 

Helping mama make cinnamon rolls!

(this was a few days before, me & dad went to an ugly sweater party)

Grandma showed up around 6 pretty much the same time daddy got home from work and I just had to do the scallops because they had to be done very last minute! It was a wonderful dinner with good food and great company!

 

In keeping with the last few years tradition we attended midnight Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels! I LOVE it! It was packed and we almost didn't make it due to parking situations, but it was beautiful none the less. You two both stayed wide awake the WHOLE time and almost all the way home! I believe it was around 2 am when you both finally dozed off in the car!

 

Z you tried to pick up the Baby Jesus and lay in the major!! So cute!

You guys looked super cute in your matching pjs!

 

 

Christmas day was just as lovely as Christmas Eve! We opened presents at our house than moved on to Auntie Janet & Uncle Steve's to celebrate with them! We topped the night off at Grandma Janine's with all the Benz cousins and yes MORE presents! It is so clear you guys are loved by so many people! So blessed! Don't ever forget it! I didn't take too many pictures cause I am sick and was pretty tired!

You can't see it very well but Georgie you came out at one point with a little white box taped to your booty...... Daddy told me I needed to check your diaper and what do you know?!? There were some diamond studs in there just for me~! Thanks Buddy :) Best diaper I have ever changed ;)

Like I said I was so tired once we finally made it to Grandma's so I didn't get any pictures, but at one point Georgie you had somehow managed to sneak 3/4's of an oreo pudding pie off the table where all the adults were sitting and sit under the table while devouring said pie without anyone catching you!!! Quiet tornado!

 

What a wonderful Holiday! I can't believe it is already almost 2013!! WOW!

Love,

Mama
