Christmas Eve, Day, and Day After

We enjoyed dinner on Christmas Eve with the Barbours and Hursts.

 Henry reminds me so much of Daddy here.

 Pop read the Night Before Christmas for everyone.

 Then we came home to open our Christmas pajamas and head to bed.

 The middlest Barbour had reached her breaking point and was crying non stop and put herself to bed.  We curtailed our usual reading of Luke 2 and Laurie put out cookies and milk for Santa on her own.  Poor kid, there's only so much excitement one little girl can handle.

 Santa Came!

 Both girls were very explicit in what they wanted for Christmas.

 Last year, Anna Fair was only interested in her candy and we couldn't get her to open her gifts for her cramming as much sugar in her mouth as possible, this year, she tore through her gifts in no time flat.

 I love that Henry's Hunter Dan doll is already on a date with Cinderella.

 Abby was so sweet to show Laurie how to work her Rainbow Loom.

This picture may not seem like much, but my little home body does not go exploring.  When Daddy took the girls to hunting camp, Laurie went exploring and Anna Fair wanted to stay in the truck.  But here she and Logan are off on an adventure.  Quite an advancement for Mamma's baby girl.
