Christmas Eve was a flurry of activities. We had lots to do before we headed over to Mi Mi's for dinner and gifts!
First, we had to make some sweets! Cupcakes and cookies.
Natalie is a sprinkle expert.
Julia just likes to boss Jeff around with the sprinkles.
Finished cupcakes.
Time for some cookies!
The girls all dressed up for Christmas Eve. LOVE the red dresses that my mom found!
Mom's tree with all the gifts.....wow! The girls help decorate the tree, I love the ribbon wrapped right around the middle!
Opening gifts at Mi Mi's.
For some reason Julia's tummy started to hurt and she needed a little TLC.
Chapstick!!
Jared and Michele
Aunt Suzanne stayed with us Christmas Eve and Natalie got to sleep in her room with her. She was pretty excited and wanted to be sure that she was asleep before Santa got here. Jeff and Natalie were watching him on a website and she thought that it was pretty cool. Julia on the other hand thought it was totally weird that he was coming into our house and said a number of times, "Santa no see me." We had to reassure her that Santa would only be in the living room.
My beautiful girl.
After Jeff told her that Santa was only 2 hours away.
Christmas morning!
Opening gifts.
Love Natalie's face here.
Both girls got shopping carts and Julia wouldn't cooperate with the photo...imagine that.
Julia loves to do puzzles...here she is concentrating on her new one.
Julia's gift to Jeff. She gave him a basketball night light.
Sisterly love!
Um, just being Julia.
Me with my coffee cup Natalie gave me.

Natalie had a tummy ache and Julia tried to make her feel better by rubbing it.
