Christmas Eveeeeee and Things.....

Merry Christmas to all.  We had a very relaxing Christmas Eve, well the girls did.  We played all day at home and I got chores done while they napped.  We made cupcakes with "candy" on them.  Kirra kept saying, "candy, candy, candy, candy, peeeeeeessssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"  That girl knows when there is candy around and she will fit for it!  They loved helping me top the cupcakes Baili and Kirra.

Then we went to my Mom's side of the family's Christmas Eve party.  It's a family tradition, and my cousin Kate has been doing it for 30 years now!  This was her 30 yr last night.  Her parents, etc did it before her.  It is very special because we take time out to visit with family we don't see all year.  Also remember the ones we miss.  Including Kate's husband Richard and My Mom to name two.  There were probably roughly 80 people, all family.  Probably more.  It was fun.  Her house is huge so chasing Kirra and watching Baili in a home FULL of breakables can be quite challenging at times, let me tell you.  All in fun and games.  She has I call a "mini mansion" if I didn't watch Kirra for a second, she was once in the pool room and then in a bedroom with someone's glasses on and grabbing their purse.  I thought her aunt had her.  Scary in such a big house.  I didn't get any pictures at the party, as I forgot my purse at home.  Long day.  I took some at the house during the day.

 We were definitely packed up in our wagon to the rim.

 On we went for miles...and miles.....

Funny at the party a lady asked me if she could paint the girls?  I said okay.  She was like picture perfect.  She took a ton of pictures of the girls, she is a painter and maybe related to me?  I am not sure?  I forgot to ask... I did have to sign something saying she could paint them.  She was telling me they are beautiful and I must paint them.  I said thanks, I guess.  She was snapping away like a photographer, it was funny, as I was chasing them around.  I did take it as a compliment, since I had no clue who she was.  Maybe I will see her paintings one day?

We have Christmas here this morning with the twins and my sister and Daddy, then my Dad's Christmas during the day, and then a long Christmas at my Grandma's tonight.  Merry Christmas everyone!!  Hopefully the girls won't get too spoiled!!

Love,

The Momma
