Christmas Eve

We had a really nice Christmas Eve. Andrew's brother Josh and his wife Laura are in town for the holiday along with Andrew's mom Susan. Peter was here before Christmas because, unfortunately, he had to work on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Anyhow, on Christmas Eve day we headed down to Destin Commoms to do a little last minute shopping and see if Abby would sit with Santa or not. To my surprise Abby actually sat down next to Santa on my lap, but she didn't cry and she mentioned that she wanted a hula hoop for Christmas.

After a little bit of shopping we were all hungry so we headed out toward the water to find someplace to eat. We ended up eating at the Crabtrap which was overpriced for the food, but the company and the view were perfect!

After a wonderful dinner cooked by Andrew and Josh it was time to settle down and getting ready for bed. Abby drew Santa a picture and got all of the goodies ready for him and his reindeer. It was a wonderful night and it was really fun to see Abby so excited with all of the preparations.

Can't forget about the carrots for the reindeer's!

And, a little milk in case he gets thirsty!

And, it wouldn't be complete if we didn't spill the entire plate of cookies on the way to fireplace.

Ok, we picked up all the cookies and we are back on track!
