Christmas Eve

Michael had to work on Christmas Eve this year so EK and I loaded up to visit my grandparents and family for the day.

But not before making her pose by the Christmas tree in her new cute outfit from The Switzer's :)

She is such a Ham!

I was hoping EK would sleep during the 2 hour drive to Springfield but she had other plans. If only I had hooked up her new DVD player before we left! So we sang along to the nursery rhyme CD while she tried to break out of her car seat straps for an hour and forty minutes before falling asleep... you know 20 minutes before arriving at our destination, ha :) Good times!

EK was a little grumpy when I woke her from her short nap but she snapped out of it after Great-Grandma gave her a new toy :)

Playing with Aunt Angie

EK really liked playing with Britt this time...

he is such a gentleman and made sure to help her put Elfie's skirt back on :)  

Abby being silly!

EK giving her Great-Grandaddy some lovin!

We tried to get a group shot of Abby, Myself and EK with Grandma but Abby wasn't really into it, haha :) I would give anything to have my Mom in this picture with us!

Luckily EK fell asleep in the car before we even got out of my grandparents driveway so it was a very peaceful drive home :)

Michael was home from work when we arrived so we let EK open one of her presents from us.

She got a Princess Potty and a Princess Potty Book!

Now we just need someone to offer to potty train her and we will be all set, wink wink ;)

She of course had to try it out but I won't be sharing those pictures :)

Next we put EK in her Christmas Jammies and went to look at Christmas Lights. One of the neighborhoods in Rock Hill has a contest every year for the best Christmas Lights so we always like to go there first. I swear some of these people must start putting out lights in October! EK had so much fun pointing at the "Lies" as she calls them and listening to the Christmas Music.

Mommy and EK taking in the lights :)

By the time we got home EK was ready for bed so we set out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer before hitting the hay.
