Christmas Eve dinner was so delicious!  I was about to dig in but decided to take a quick picture, however, I forgot to move my fork back into place – haha!  Rara even made us cookie place cards – so sweet!

We draw names with the Banks family for Secret Santa gifts that we exchange on Christmas Eve.  Michele drew my name, and to my amazement, she painted Noelle a canvas!  Thanks so so much Michele; you’re the best, and I LOVE IT! (she even put a clock on the castle, and Noelle totally noticed)

I drew Dad’s name and made him a personalized calendar, and guess what?  The kids’ pjs still fit!

Out of the 26 alphabet books, Noelle found the clock in the "C" book – she never seizes to amaze and surprise us!  She was showing everyone her discovery.
