The Night Before Christmas 2007

We had a pretty quiet Christmas Eve and Christmas day this year. Ryan came over and spent the night, which was nice. While Gene and I were fixing dinner, Ryan led the girls in some calisthenics--in his own special way.

Then we ate dinner.


The kids opened their pajamas as they do every Christmas Eve.



Leah and Krista put their pajamas on right away.

After we read, "Twas the Night Before Christmas," Ryan played his guitar and we sang a few Christmas songs.


It's kind of sad that the girls have gotten too old for some traditions, like putting cookies and milk out for Santa. Of course, this year, we wouldn't have been able to do that anyway, because Krista had eaten almost all the cookie dough throughout the day (secretly, in the bathroom!). Arghhh!
