Christmas Eve Festivities!! 12/24/11

 Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

 For Christmas Eve, Jane and Doug came over to help us celebrate with Christmas cookies, dinner, dessert, and wine.

 Christmas Eve dinner was delicious! 
Baked potato soup, ham and cheese scones, and chocolate molten cakes.

 Declan also decided to test out the cookies for Santa to make sure they were acceptable.

 We let Harrison and Declan open the present they got from the little girl next door...it was a singing Elmo! The gift was a big hit, although I'm not sure Declan knew quite what to make of it (see video) and the microphone lasted about 10 minutes before being accidentally dropped in the toilet.

 Then, it was time to prepare a plate of cookies and milk for Santa!

 This was fun at first...

 ...until Declan realized these cookies were not for him to eat!

 Making sure everything is just right for Santa's visit.

Final cookie arranging and then off to bed! Sweet dreams.

And videos...
