Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve is always a fun night with our family and friends; and this year was no different.  We went to 4pm mass then had a wonderful paella dinner at Devoni and Tom's.  My parents join us as well.  It's nice to have both sides of the family together!  TJ, Gigi and Papa Joe got in town on Tuesday and it's been so nice spending so much time with them!  Here's some pics of Christmas Eve 2011

Ambs in her newly painted room in her furry dress.  

You can't see it in this picture, but we recently put up a piggy bank on her dresser and she is OBSESSED with money!  She will bring the piggy bank to you, give you this sad look and say "MORE MONEY, MORE MONEY"  lol  so funny!

After church and before we went to the inlaws we were determined to get a family picture.  We have like 2 from all of last year because of a toddler who doesn't hold still for a picture lol  Surprisingly, it only took us 4 tries! 

Ambs loves Grandma's work out ball!  Uncle TJ helping her bounce!

After dinner the Leatherwood family came over for dessert and LCR!  Best game EVER!

Ambs sure loved rolling the dice!  She was actually pretty lucky for people!

But she had a tendency to roll the dice off the table...you can see John forming a barricade lol 

someone was getting sleepy!

The $75 pot!  Yes, that's monopoly money....some people didn't bring dollar bills, only a $5 bill.  So we used the fake money during the game.

My Dad WON!!!  $75 pot for the birthday boy (Christmas day was his 75th birthday!)

We changed Ambs into her jammies and stayed awhile longer, but Santa had some work to do, so we drove our 1/2  mile home and got started.  Danny sprinkled the reindeer food that Jamie gave us at the play date since Amberly was in bed.

Holly took one last ride on Amberly's new 4 wheeler then she went back to the North Pole with Santa.

Amberly was such a good girl this year!  Santa was SO good to her!  

All of this fun stuff and a swing set outside!
