Oh, daddy love.

Christmas EVE presents.

P.J.s!!!!!!

Christmas EVE dinner, Tah Dah....

Baby Lobsters. (langostinos) This is one of my favorite traditions, appetizer night. This year we watch a Christmas Story, one of the greatest movies ever. Even Taylor liked it.

And Nick bought our Christmas P.J.s this year, I am Buddy the elf and he is Santa. Don't we look great?? (sigh) hee hee

Santa got spoiled this year. We thought he might not like warm milk sitting out so we got him a Coke. (Santa's favorite) and of course some reindeer snacks and cookies.
CHRISTMAS MORNING.

In all of my brilliantness I completely forgot to get a picture of everything before Taylor attacked the couch. This is an after picture.

Santa was good to Us. Thanks SANTA

Grandpa Hank gave Santa a present to deliver to Taylor. (Santa and Grandpa Hank go way back) So Taylor was so excited to get an AWESOME princess bike from awesome Grandpa Hank! Thanks

Girl Heaven!! Disney Princesses, My little ponies and makeup!

And the flute in the Stocking, I am sure an elf left that, those nasty elf.

She loves this bike!

And these are Taylor's words " Oh my gosh, I can't believe he came, I can't believe he ate his cookies and drank his soda all gone!"
She was really blown away. It was so fun.

In our town there is an Assisted living center (old folks home) and we are able to Visit them every now and again and have Church with the residence. For Christmas we went to have Church there and it was really neat to be there and wish those sweet people a Merry Christmas. Taylor I think made the big difference. She gave hugs that meant a lot to some of the residence and I think it was a good lesson for Taylor and for Nick and I.

We have a really sweet couple that live by us and they bring Taylor presents and treats every now and again and have always remembered her for Christmas. They are so sweet and we appreciate them.

Daddy got a Michigan shirt for Christmas, complements of Taylor.

I think he liked it.

Gifts from Nana.....
