today is christmas eve!!! we finally put up the tree!! once we got the tree up we asked ourselves- 'selves- why did we wait so long to put up the tree? oh yeah- maria crawls!'. sooooo- note to selves- don't put up the tree early.
in addition to putting up the tree we ran by hancock fabrics to pick up a couple of sewing things my MIL needed to finish out the shopping cart/ restaurant high chair baby protector she is making for us. we also went by texas honey ham to pick up the most glorious christmas honey baked, spiral cut ham. it rained the entire time we were out. this is the first time in almost 3 months it has rained!
we made a super great tasty christmas eve dinner and enjoyed a nice, relaxed candle lit meal with chris's mom. maria hung out in the baby einstein jumper with some cheerios and daisy went back and forth between the table and maria sniffing for scraps of food.
this next picture will always make me laugh. i almost feel bad about posting it on the internet for anyone to see. i'm sure maria will be upset with me in the future for releasing this on the www however i can't not post it- sorry bug.
now that you have stopped laughing. . .
chris and i stayed up to greet chris's brother, tony. he got in about 11pm. while i was waiting for tony to get here i finished my portion of the christmas cards. if you are one of chris's relatives or one of his friends from high school and/ or college and you read that christmas cards were sent out and you did not receive one- blame chris! ;)
while we were waiting up for tony, we had the distinct honor of eating some cookies with santa. santa really liked the chocolate chip snicker doodle cookies i made and filled our stockings accordingly!

She is going to be mortified that you put her funky hairdo on the net. It was such a wonderful Christmas. Thanks to you all.
