Christmas Eve Night

Last Christmas, our Mia was here, but just barely. She was two weeks old on Christmas Day last year. So, we did have gifts for her under the tree, but it wasn't anything too exciting with her being so young. So even though this is Mia's 2nd Christmas, it sort of felt like her first. I'm sure it will continue to get even more fun, the older she gets, and the more she understands. These pictures are of Christmas Eve night. It was so fun to get her in her special Christmas pj's that I ordered for her, and set out cookies for Santa, along with the letter from Santa to Mia that he sent to her that I layed out with the cookies :)

Here is Mia checking out her stocking, in her personalized "Clarice" pj's from "Rudolph"!

Here she is, thinking of digging in Bailey's stocking....

Playing with her wagon...

Cookies, and letter from Santa!!

As you can see, this was actually a REAL leter that was mailed to Mia from Santa! It's even addressed to her :)

The toy stash that Santa left!!!

Mine and Kelley's stockings, with the Power of a Praying Wife and Praying Husband safely tucked in each one :)

Along with another one of Kelley's ENORMOUS cups he likes to take his coffee to work in!

Mia and Bailey's stockings. Seems how an almost 15 year old girls get smaller things in their stockings that don't quite make it look full, but are JUST as exciting!

Our sweet tree after Santa's visit, waiting on everyone to wake up!

Just a little "out of place tidbit" here. These were taken of Cleo on Christmas Eve night, but I do NOT want to forget to mention that Cleo celebrated her 2nd birthday on the 26th! So she is our December birthday girl, too! Right along with Mommy and Mia!

Really wierd snow tracks in our yard, that lead to Bailey's bedroom window, and NONE of us had gone outside. We have been very disturbed over this....

Oops, out of order Christmas Eve photo. These were in her pre-bath pj's!

Although our tree has been up since the day after Thanksgiving, on Christmas Eve, Mia still enjoys staring, in wonder, and touching the tree and lights through our little "anti-pull-down" fence :)

"Maybe if I stand on this pillow......"

My, what a smart girl I already have!

Silly Daddy!

Sweet Christmas Bo-bo!
