Christmas Eve...what a wonderful beginning...relaxing at home! It was nice to not have any big plans in the morning (well, my only plan was to work on one of Raleigh's gifts). For the evening we were going over to my parents to enjoy dinner with my dad's side of the family. It was great, but a little different this year with my cousin not being around. I know it was really difficult on his parents...you could tell they just were not themselves. Raleigh had a wonderful time playing with Nathaniel and Bryson...they really hit it off this year! Raleigh and Bryson had such a great time playing that Raleigh ended up with a black eye at the end of the night, but I guess when it's from playing with your cousin too hard it's ok. :)
Before we left the house we needed to sprinkle our reindeer food out while it was still light outside. I hope they find us! :)
Nathaniel, Bryson, and Raleigh

Posing with her chair for her doll started out like this and went to...
this and then...
this! Silly girl!
Cheesing with Lacy!
This was as close as we could get to measuring Raleigh and Nathaniel this year...Raleigh is a tad bit taller this year. It was sad to think that Andrew is not around to do this with me this time (or at least joke about it since we have stopped growing).
Next year though it will be two more cousins getting measured! Amy is 15 weeks pregnant and I'm 37 weeks...more cousins being born in the same year!!
When we got home we had to leave out some snacks for Santa. We left milk and rice krispie treats...Raleigh wanted to leave cookies, but mommy didn't feel like making cookies so Santa had to settle for rice krispie treats. Mrs. Claus really liked them! ;)
