Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is always a day of anticipation, excitement and eating. It started off with picking up Nana from the airport, which was almost as great as the late night arrival of another white-haired wonder.

Tom meets the Sing-a-ma-jigs that Nana brought. He was smitten.
My little elf.
Nana took the kids out for a walk while I made some cookie dough. Serafina didn't want to walk or push her stroller or even be carried, so Nana pushed her in the doll stroller. Turns out Serafina was about to spike a fever.
Tom decorates some cookies.
Leo liked putting on the sprinkles.
Our simple, but delicious butter cookies. A few were left out for Santa in appreciation for his efforts.
Opening an early gift from Nana - "Band in a Box".
My kids are musical instrument fans.
Leo wasn't feeling that great either and spends most of the night coughing. Nana also brought Toy Story 3, which was the perfect pre-dinner activity for my sickie kids.
Poor Serafina. Puffy and feverish. She went to bed early and managed to sleep okay.
Another early present - an awesome parking garage (with gas pumps and elevator) from Uncle Mike. He was so stoked on this gift; he would of slept with it if he could.
