We had not one, but two Christmas Eve's this year.
The night before Christmas Eve, we celebrated over at Rick, Marilyn, and my sister's house (my Dad and Stepmom). We had such a great time catching up with family that I had not seen in forever and Arrington had such a great time with Layla.
Singing songs together and acting like such Big Girls
This picture MELTS. ME. TO. THE. CORE!
Our own lil' chubby Santa ;)
On Christmas Eve we baked and decorated homemade cookies... frosting and all! Watched Christmas movies and finger painted! I absolutely love my Nana's recipe for frosting, so we made a batch of green and a batch of red frosting. Arrington had such a blast decorating and helping Mommy, while Bennett watched on! Next year he will be able to join in on all the fun!
I could tell Arrington wasn't feeling too well. Soon enough we found out why. Poor baby caught the stomach bug. We stayed home from church and kept it low key with some Christmas movies. This was one NASTY stomach bug and I felt terrible for my lil' Princess. Arrington was a trooper though, and tried to enjoy everything.
Arrington LOVES to sit on Bennett's lap

A little messy, but that's ok ;)
No clothes on, due to her just getting sick... we still made sure to get Santa's cookies and milk ready ;)
...and we can't forget Arrington's Santa and Baby Jesus ornament.
This is the Baby Jesus she carried around with her throughout the holiday season!
All ready for Christmas Morning!
Let the festivities begin!
