Sus reading to all four girls ~
Making Christmas cookies (yes, I now realize I had the wrap on wrong - I've adjusted the straps and my back feels much better now :) ) ~
The girls helping with cookie making ~
Sus multi-tasking - talking on the phone, holding Eva and giving Jack a ride on her foot ~
One of my best friends, Allison, with Eva ~
Getting ready to watch personalized messages from Santa (Jack wanted to be first and was very sad) ~
My beautiful oldest daughter ~
Watching Santa messages ~
Apparently Santa DOES see everything! D'oh!
Jack gets a turn ~
Oh my goodness! Santa saw that?!? ~
Beth watching her message ~
Megan watching her message (Eva was very insistent that she needed to eat right at that moment, so Meg watched her message on Susie's lap) ~
Opening Christmas pjs ~
As we do every year, Papa read "the Night Before Christmas - in Texas that is". Jack was a bit hyper ~
Reading "The Night Before Christmas" illustrated by Tasha Tudor, with Jack running around pretending to be Superman ~

This year we allowed the kids to open an extra present on Christmas Eve - Pillow pets!!! (They've been asking for them for at least 6 months) ~
We usually have all the grandkids sit with Papa while he's reading, but Eva was sleeping, so we waited until she woke up to get a picture of all five grandkids with Papa (Nona wanted to wait until her hair was done to get her picture taken with the grandkids) ~
The four older kids with their pillow pets ~

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care ~
Opening stockings ~
"My very own calendar!!!" (Megan's been asking for one for several months) ~
Eva, having been awake since 3am, was very tired. I, also having been awake since 3am, handed her off to Rob and went back to bed ~
