Christmas Eve

Keeping with "tradition"....one that started when we moved to N.C. back in 2001....we went out for Chinese food on Christmas Eve at a new place (new to us) that was highly recommended. And turns out the food was great! BUT the bright orange walls and flouresent lighting wasn't the nicest atmosphere! So next year we'll just get take out I think! lol!











So, we got home from our early afternoon Chinese dinner and the kids wanted to get in the tub and put on their new P.J.'s.....at 4:30 p.m.! By 5:00 p.m. they were ready to read the Nativity Story and do our family gift exchange! Gene and I just went with it! And silly William, after seeing Audrey's new ballet dress that she got from Austin (pic below) decided he wanted to be a ballerina too!?? :) P.S. I can NEVER get William to look at me when I'm taking a picture....what to do????




Gene and I always look goofy in pics together because we are trying to smile and talk through our teeth to tell/remind Austin how to use the camera!! Oh well...its all good! lol!
