Christmas Eve...

We had an awesome Christmas Eve which started with a quick visit to the Fair Oaks NICU to drop off the clothing that my Girl Scout Troop had donated and lots of fresh baked breads and goodies for the docs and nurses who were taking care of those sweet babies during the holidays. It's a tradition I plan to keep each and every year. 

After that we spent the rest of the day wrapping presents, doing some last minute shopping (as per usual) and hosting a delicious dinner for Ommy & Poppy. You could feel the excitement in the air. 

It might not have been a Feast of Seven Fishes, but we did have some fresh oysters on the half, steamed mussels and shrimp in our Christmas fettuccine! I love how Adam loves oysters - and turns out he's a big fan of mussels too! 

The boys opened their Christmas Even presents - matching pajamas, of course! 

Then they got spoiled with lots of fun toys and books from Ommy & Poppy! Poppy got a new toy too - a wagon to use in his yard & garden. 

We took lots of great pictures then it was off to bed so that Santa could arrive....

Of course not before putting out the cookies! Come one Santa - we're ready!
