Christmas Eve was spent watching Elisabeth sing in the church children's choir.
And keeping Julia quiet by letting her draw on the floor (something I distinctly remember doing as a preschooler in church).
I made a traditional Italian Christmas Eve dinner--The Feast of the Seven Fishes.
And, we left cookies and a gatorade for Santa (dude, he has to be sooo dehydrated flying at that high altitude).
Santa left his loot.
And the girls woke up very eager to see what he'd brought.
Julia received her big, red ball.
Elisabeth fell in love with her bee pillow pet.
Other gifts were opened.
After we opened everything and called our families in Illinois, we hung out all day and enjoyed our new gifts.
And took a much needed nap.
A quiet, simple Christmas was probably my favoritest gift this year. We are very blessed and extremely full of cookies.
