Christmas Eve 2011

Our top priority on Christmas Eve day was making cookies!  We whipped up an extra special batch of Granny's spiced sugar cookies.


 Emma is becoming pretty independent making cookies-she mastered the rolling pin this year. :)


 We bought 3 new cookie cutters at the Ludwigsburg Christmas Market: an angel, snowflake, and duck (guess who picked out the last one!)
 Our masterpieces!
 This might be one of my new all time favorite pictures...
Making cookies is hard work!
 Obviously someone was not ready to wake up from his nap and go to church.  Holiday pictures at the house weren't going to happen.
 A 20 minute car ride and he is back to his chipper self.

The world's cutest kids in front of the grand Christmas tree on base.


 After Mass we came home, changed into our jammies, and enjoyed our traditional homemade pizza Christmas Eve dinner with our friend, Staci.
 Listening to The Night Before Christmas...

...and then it was off to bed! :)
