25 days of Christmas: Day 24--Christmas Eve!

So much fun! Christmas Eve is easily becoming one of my favorite "moments" and I know it's just going to get better as the years pass. 

Today A determined our tree needed further trimming. 

We made a holiday paper chain. 

We did seasonal nails again. 

We decorated cookies for Santa. 

A was slightly distraught at the imperfections in the cookies--"it's not perfect, mommy!"

But not distraught enough to resist sampling the frosting (that spreader did not contaminate Santa's cookies, btw). 

She believes there are never enough sprinkles. 

We got everything put together and under the tree!

Flashback from last year:

25 Days of Christmas: Day 23--Santa video

Tonight A watched a personalized video from Santa! She was mesmerized and wanted to watch it several times.

We also finished wrapping presents and made a taco 'wreath.'

25 Days of Christmas: Day 22--Snowman breakfast

Baby A actually (honestly) set the table. I looked over and she was putting a single plate and napkin at each chair. I have no idea how she would know to do that since we rarely eat at the table and even more rarely set it before we eat. She never ceases to amaze. 

If you were worried this would send A, into sugar shock, be comforted. She only ate 1 doughnut and half a piece of bacon.

25 Days of Christmas: Day 19--Class Party

Not much is cuter than a room full of 2 year olds celebrating Christmas. Especially when they are singing jingle bells!

She loves her teachers (and so do we!).

Chad loved reading to A in the bean bag chair.

The sweet ornament made by A's teachers.
