Christmas Eve

Brook and I spent part of Christmas Eve finishing up some last minute details and then we took the girls to see Bolt. They really liked it...it was a cute show. Then we went to my mom's for pizza. We usually spend Christmas Eve with Brook's parents, but they stayed down in Arizona this year. I wasn't in the mood to do too much in the way of cooking so I was thinking pizza, but I didn't know if my mom would go for that. While I was out running errands she called and said, "I was thinking about pizza." I laughed and told her I had been thinking the same thing. After dinner the girls opened their presents from Grandma Mills while she was on the phone. Brook's parents had gone to Hawaii recently so she bought them grass skirts, shell necklaces, a flower for their hair, and a top. Auburn's had a little coconut bra, but she refused to put it on even with her shirt. Lauren didn't want to put on her little bikini top either. I thought it would be funny just to put over their shirts, but they wouldn't. I guess I can't complain since they want to be modest.

Don't you love Lauren's look. She didn't want to stand by her sister. She has a huge grin in the next one because I told her she couldn't open anymore presents if she didn't smile. AHHH the blackmail.


Auburn was REALLY excited about her Christmas pajamas

Then we let them open up their Christmas pajamas. I didn't get a picture. What was I thinking? I think I'll do one of those staged pictures before we take the tree down. Then they opened the gifts they got for eachother at home. I got Brook a pair of pajama bottoms that had Christmas lights all over them. I couldn't stop laughing....they were just for fun. Mine had Chip and Dale on them. I was just glad to have something warm and comfortable to wear. I finally had to put my regular pants away this week. I could wear them standing up, but they were too tight when I sat down. It was a little more quiet this year, but we had a nice Christmas Eve.
