On the First Day of Christmas...

(which was actually Christmas Eve) ...we started the day by going to see a movie and, as if that wasn't enough, that night...we went to Auntie D's!
.
Iz got to hang out with her buddy, Kiko (though Kiko doesn't look too thrilled)!
.
.
There was a TON of yummy food....and, even though there were 15 people, there was a TON of leftovers at the end of the night. How did that happen?
.

.
Ellie was there....all dressed up and ready to celebrate her FIRST Christmas...looking SUPER cute, as usual!
.

.
Iz showing off her Rudolph shirt (and her fake smile...drives me crazy!)
.

.
Teenagers.....need I say more?
.

.
SOMEONE was pretty excited to get presents!!!
.

.
Iz was lucky enough to get a princess activity set AND Lego's from WW & Uncle P, a new sled, a zippered case and viewfinder discs from Auntie D & Uncle Skip, princess Yahtzee from SnL, and a bunch of cool little things and CA$H from Nannie and Papa...spoiled little girl :)

.
Ellie modeling one of the gifts we got her....GO PATS!
.

.

When we got home, Hubby and Iz got down to business writing a letter to Santa...
.

.
...and making sure he and his reindeer had PLENTY of goodies waiting for them!
.

.
Then it was off to bed....to dream of dancing sugarplums and stockings hung by the chimney with care and hoping hoping hoping SANTA would swing by while we were snoozing...
