Christmas Eve 2011

   I have decided to break up Christmas into two separate posts so it won't be too lengthy.  Like we do every year, we spent Christmas Eve and day ant my parent's house.  It is really a lot of fun to all be under the same roof for two days.  I really enjoy getting to spend so much time with family.  We all spent the night at my parents house and I know that we all really look forward to it and enjoy it.  Christmas Eve was very laid back and relaxing.  My mom and I spent most of the day cooking.  We usually go some where Christmas Eve for dinner.  However, this year we spend it at my parent's house.  We decided to make our traditional German dinner that we usually go out for.  The food was a lot of work, but everyone agreed it was really, really good.  It was so nice to eat at home and not have to go to crowded restaurants. We had such a nice day relaxing and spending time with one another.  

Ashlyn was showing her uncle how she paints her nails.

My mom has this obnoxious Disney Christmas clock that plays Christmas songs.  It is so annoying to listen to, but the kids just love it.  Dawson really enjoyed watching it.

Here is Ashlyn sprinkling the reindeer food.  I really think it helped the reindeer find her.

Ashyln posing with her letter to Santa and his milk and cookies.  She listed some things she wanted, but the two biggest things she wanted was a new bike and Beanie Babies.
