Christmas Eve was celebrated at the Farr House this year. We had a great time with loads of snacks, followed by a round of gingerbread cookie decorating. We even managed to pose for some family photos, which almost never happens. Lots of fun before heading home to put out the aforementioned cookie for Santa, read The Night Before Christmas, and then tuck Emily into bed. The highlight of the evening was watching a video email that Santa sent to Emily. She was so astonished that he would take the time to email her personally (including actual photos from our year!) that she wrote him a note to leave with her cookie to say thanks. Now hurry off to sleep so that he can come and leave the presents!
Technically speaking, this photo was not from Christmas Eve. It was Polar Express Day at school. But the picture was too cute not to share and I was too lazy to create another blog post. Did you catch that she's wearing polar bear pajamas and carrying a polar bear on polar express day? Totally her idea. She will probably grow up to carry a purse that matches her shoes.
Cool eraser sets from me and Donald. What is it about little kids loving little things?
Continuing the little theme...Little American Girls from Cici and Granddaddy!
All of her new friends, plus Abby's Julie
Matching Christmas PJs are a tradition
Cookie decorating time!
She decorated her cookie to look like Santa. She's thoughtful that way.
Finished products!
Mimi will not appreciate that I posted a picture of her. But it was a good one, so I thought I had to do it.
I am impressed by their gingerbread house.
Always fun to have Aunt Liz join us!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
