Christmas Eve

So for Christmas eve this year we went up to my(anni) parents house in Clearfield and had a small Christmas with my brother as he had to work on Christmas. We had a bit of a mishap as when we finally got to Clearfield we realized I forgot to grab the diaper bag!! So Tony drove back home and back up again, then my dad, brother, tony and I went to the theater and saw 7 Pounds. NOT a good Christmas movie!!! I cried the whole last hour! I couldn't believe the ending!! After, we went back to my parents and my mom(who stayed back and watched Elizabeth) had cooked a wonderful Southern meal! Ham and grits with texas toast, and hush puppies, and Tony's favorite Shrimp Jambalaya! It was sooo yummy!! Then we opened presents, my mom got us the ultimate pj's this year. She found Christmas Story t-shirts for all of us that she put with pajama pants! My dad's said "I triple dog dare ya", my mom's said "Deck the Hars with Bowrs of Hary, Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra", my brother's said "Fra-gee-lay, it must Italian", Tony's said "Major Award", mine said "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out", and Elizabeth's said "Randy Lay There Like a Slug, it Was His Only Defense" IT was amazing!! She even had Christmas Story wrapping paper! My parents got Elizabeth an amazing excersaucer, that Liz absolutely LOVES!!! Tony got a super cool collapsible work bench from Fat Max that is also a dolly, I got T-Fal pots, and a front baby carrier. We all got Canadian chocolate, and turkish delight, and other goodies. After my brother left we played Ticket to Ride that my parents had just bought, it was loads of fun!! While we were playing, Santa came to visit!! It was Tony's dad in his infamous suit, so Elizabeth got to see both her grandparents that night! It was an absolutely wonderful Christmas Eve!!
