I have this special thing (that I'm sure a lot of other Moms have) where I like to get a picture of my girls together all dressed up for Christmas Eve Mass. I then frame each picture and it becomes a part of my Christmas decor. Eventually my bookshelves will just be framed Christmas pictures during December and I will love it!
Well this year Emma was not being cooperative. I'm sensing that this is just her thing. So I got to jump in the photo this year, since Emma would NOT be put down.
Lexi Lu was all smiles though - she loves being dressed up!
After Mass, we went to my parent's house for dinner and to let the cousins play (loudly). As per Dunaway tradition, NO ONE can change until we have taken a family photo in front of the fireplace. Some day I want to make a collage of all of our family Christmas photos.
We added a "silly picture" this year per request of Lexi and Chloe, I think.
We let the girls open one present each before bedtime - new pajamas! My mom used to do this for us when we were little and it was one of my favorite things!
Lexi got a Rapunzel nightgown . . .
. . . And Emma got Sofia the First pajamas - she LOVES Sofia and I felt like a rockstar Momma when they got super excited about their new PJ's!
The girls got new sleeping bags, books, nightlights, princess teddy bears, and a toy each from Santa.
I LOVED having both my girls so excited about Christmas morning this year. I told Paul that I barely slept that night because I was so excited for them!
The sleeping bags were a hit! Lexi even slept in hers last night, she loved it so much.
Merry Christmas!
