Our plans changed at the last minute this year, and due to the flu bug making an untimely appearance at Grandma and Grandpa's house (where we were supposed to stay), we are having a small just-the-three-of-us Christmas here at home. So we braved the Christmas Eve crowds at Walmart, went grocery shopping and got a few food items to make it through the next few days and had a nice quiet day here at home. We watched the classic "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" movie (we rented a couple) and then the three of us stood around the cake below and sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus. Em blew out the candles.
Here is Emily, posing with a slice of the Jesus cake and a cup of milk for Santa. (He probably likes the variety from all the cookies!) If you look closely, you will see that Emily decided to stick the fork in the cake for Santa. Such a helper!
The gifts are ready and Puma the cat decided to check them out.
Hmmm...something in that stocking sure smells good....
Merry Christmas to all....and to all, a good night!

It sounds like you had a great time in spite of the change of plans.
The last photo looks like it could be on a Christmas
I'm sorry you had to change your plans - but your pictures are beautiful! That last one is amazing. (Not that Emily isn't...maybe I should stop talking while I'm ahead.)
Thanks Janice and Bekah. I did like the way a couple of my Christmas pics turned out.
(And Bekah, I knew what you meant! That really isn't a very good picture of Emily...but late on Christmas Eve, you take what you can get!)
No offense taken.
Beautiful tree!
Love the Jesus birthday cake!
