T'was the night before Christmas

With Christmas Eve comes the opening of the first gift...and what better reason to get matching jammies!! The girls excitedly opened up their packages and ran around the house (making it tough to get a group picture). It was pretty cute. We had a hard time convincing them to take off the slippers at the end of the night. After we put Chloe to bed, Ella and daddy got the plate of cookies ready for santa and they even remembered the reindeer with some water and apples. It was so much fun watching Ella carefully place things in the "just the right" spot. Needless to say, this was a tough night for her to fall asleep, as she hoped to catch the sound of reindeer hooves on the roof. My camera battery died half-way through the photo session so I will have to add the pics I took on my sister's camera later.
