pudding, jammies and crackers

Christmas Eve was spent with our English friends, the Collings family.  They invited us over for a traditional English meal.  It was delicious!  Yorkshire pudding, scrumptious stuffing, turkey, pork...all of it =some serious yum!

It was nice to spend the evening with such nice people.

Everyone waiting ever so patiently for the food.

 Lucy was pretty adorable with her cracker.

We headed home around 8:30 to start putting our super excited for Santa to come, kidlets to bedie bye.

A friend at Jared's work gave Lucy this Christmas dress.  She wore it for 2 days straight.  Everyone got a kick out of her at the shops as she clopped around in her feathery high heels.

She is saying, "I am a grand lady.  Clip clop." She is quoting Lola from Charlie and Lola.
{my FAVORITE kids cartoon, by the way, I watch it when the kids are no where around...it's adorable}

These two cutie pies starting dancing and I about died, it was so cute.  Rex was so professional and had Lucy dipping.  Liv yelled out for him to kiss her when he dipped her because that is what Jared does when he dips me...Rex said, "Ahhh...NOOOO."

Jacka Boo with his da da da da da da!  His first and new word is da da da da da.  I even got kicked out of Sunday School at church because he was yelling da da da over and over again and it was so cute but SO loud the teacher kept losing his train of thought.

We let them open their PJ present before bed.  Jack experiencing his first ever present opening.  He liked it! 

This pic cracks me up.  Everyone looked thrilled to be having their picture taken for the bazillionth time.Liv missed her nostril, Rex had too many drinks at supper, Lucy is singing some random song she made up and Jack is doing the scream and arch.

Ahh, sisterly love in their cute Zhu Zhu jammies.  Merry Christmas Eve!
