We had a lovely Christmas Eve Day! The girls were spoiled by Grandma and Papa in the form of attention and cookies. The girls love showing off for them and Uncle Pete, and giving lots of kisses and hugs.
Mia and Emma learn to cook Swedish meatballs with Grandma and Uncle Pete.
Emma can hardly contain herself!
Mia reaches for the cookie tin.
Grandma cooked the traditional Christmas Eve meal: Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and gravy, and broccoli. The girls LOVED the meatballs! Emma liked the mashed potatoes too. No luck with the broccoli.
Family dinner
When we eat messy meals for dinner, we sometimes take the girls' shirts off since they refuse to wear a bib. Now, they like to take their shirts off on their own. They thought it was hilarious! Uncle Pete observed it makes it harder to tell them apart when they're dressed (or undressed) alike. Very true!
Emma neglects her big girl fork in favor of using her hands to scoop of mashed potatoes. She knows she's pretty funny, too.
Miss Mia
Emma points out Papa's nose.
Something is hilarious!
Cookie and milk (notice the big girl cups!) time for Mia and Emma!
After dinner, we watched "Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas." There is one particular song the girls love to sing and dance to. After watching that 3 times in a row, we put the girls to bed well past their bedtime, and they were very happy to rest their eyes.
Watching the show with Papa.
Emma bites her nails in anticipation of hearing her favorite song.
Family movie time.
Mia and Emma dance to Emmet Otter and his Jug Band.
We're very excited for Christmas morning! The girls are going to be so surprised! They know what Santa looks like, but they don't quite know what he does yet or why they should care.
