'Twas The Night Before Christmas

For Christmas Eve we headed out for the 4PM children's mass. Margaret looked too adorable in her black coat and dress! I wish I had gotten pictures of everyone else, cause we didn't look too bad either ;-)

After we got home from Mass and had dinner it was time to make cookies for Santa. Margaret was very excited to help!


But she was even more excited to help eat the cookies!!!!

Then we sat down and tried to explain to Margaret that Christmas was Jesus's birthday. So now she sings "Happy to you Jesus" (which is as close as she gets to Happy Birthday).
Next it was time to read 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, only problem is we didn't have a regular copy of the book. We had to settle for reading this Christmas Tree Ornament size book.....at least it still had all the words!

Daddy won't let me take a single picture of him.....not even for the blog! Talk about NO FUN!

We left out the cookies for Santa and carrots for the Reindeer (since we were all out of milk Santa would have to settle for his cookies dry).

Margaret tried a carrot....

But of course decided she like the cookies better!

As Charlotte sat nicely taking it all in.

So it might not be the most composed Night Before Christmas photo, but this is our life and we love it!
