Christmas Eve

The day started out at Strawn's with a wonderful Christmas eve scrambled egg, grits and a diet coke! After breakfast, we headed to Ms. Jo's to exchange gifts! After realizing that Grandmother dined with Joe Paterno at the famous Capri in Homestead, Florida, we enjoyed opening Christmas gifts.

The girls were thrilled to open the most coveted Christmas gift of 2009, Zhu Zhu pets! Ms. Jo was quick to realize how popular they would be and gave each girl a hamster and accessory piece!

We next headed to Mumsie and Poppa's for Christmas Eve dinner. After dinner, we all headed to our church for Christmas Eve service.

Morgan was especially excited about Christmas Eve communion! She decided that she was ready to take communion this year! I guess after this summer's decision of being forever friends with Jesus Christ, this was her next step in her journey! How excited I was when I realized Poppy would be the one to serve us Christmas Communion!

Merritt decided she was ready for a Christmas blessing!

After church we were thrilled to discover a Christmas Eve snowfall!

Santa called the house to make sure his sleigh was packed correctly! The girls were surprised to hear that GranMe was on the naughty list! Maybe next year, GranMe!

We were sure to set out Christmas cookies and reindeer food!
