5 Days Off!

Finally this year Joe and I are NOT on call for Christmas! In fact, we have 5 days off. Yeah! The past two years one of us has had to go into work over the holiday. It is nice being a 3rd year!
Christmas Eve we went to mass at 4:00. It was...well...difficult. We didn't have the best seats for Logan to see and I forgot to bring him a drink. So the whole time we just tried to keep his mind off of wanting a drink and tried to keep him quiet. Forget about him sitting down....that was a lost cause. He sat and climbed everywhere BUT the pew we were in. At one point when it was quiet he said "I don't think I like church!" really loud. *SIGH* Joe took Melody out cause she was crying...Anyway, not sure we got much out of it but we were there!
Logan ready for church


Silly girl!

I didn't get a pic of Melody in her x-mas dress b/c we were so rushed and she was asleep but this is her santa dress.


Christmas Eve Pajamas

When I was growing up my mom always let us open one present on x-mas eve. It was almost always pajamas. I think this was a ploy for her to get us excited to go to bed but nevertheless it worked well! So I will continue this w/ my kids. Joe and I had a box with new PJ's too and Logan just thought it was great we all had new pj's. I think the pj plan backfired for me cause it only made Logan more excited! Oh well

Joe and I were up to about 1 am setting up everything and cleaning up. Here is the tree and gifts before we went to bed:
