Christmas Eve

Our Christmas was a lot quieter in some respects than it has been in years past. Our only two guests this year was Mimi and PaPa. Nana didn't get to come this year because she so graciously came to help us when Wesley was born. Barbara and Uncle Jerry weren't able to make it over either, but hopefully we will get to see them later Christmas week at Mimi's house.

Clint and I cooked off and on all day. It felt weird not cooking with my mom by my side! But, we managed to do pretty good. We had ham, macaroni and cheese, green beans, and some south west dressing. I thought I was doing a good thing to make the homemade mac and cheese, but I mistakenly made it with whole grain pasta (to counter-act the 4 cups of cheese in it) and the girls did NOT like the whole wheat pasta. Ella told me it was yuck because it wasn't white!

After dinner, the girls opened one present from me and Clint - new pajamas and new slippers. They both really liked them both - it was fun watching them. They excitedly went to bed with anticipations of Santa coming that night!
