Hannah Kate and Me

A day in the life of a mom.
Some days are full of fun, some are full of frustration.
But just like I say to the kids
"you get what you get and don't have a fit".

Christmas eve at the Lyons house


What a fun Christmas eve we had. It started with the arrival of Uncle Jord and Grandpa Dana, the girls were so excited. Then shortly after that Grandpa Ken, Grandma Janet and Aunt Nan arrived and the girls were so wound up. We hung out and played all day and watched Santa on the NORAD website to see where he was in the world. Aunt Nan helped the girls write a note to Santa and leave the cookies and milk out for him. We then went outside so Kate could leave the reindeer food/glitter so the reindeer would know where her house was and Hannah left a bowl full of reindeer food so they would have something to eat, it was fun. And then it was time for the girls to go to bed. But before they did that they got to open their Christmas eve gift from mom, a new nightgown for each of them, they loved them and put the on quickly and then off to bed. They only came out of their rooms once because they were so excited for Santa to come.

Greg and Grandpa Ken put the doll house together while the rest of us finished wrapping gifts - it was a fun Christmas eve. I had no trouble going to sleep, I was tired and knew that Thursday was going to be a big day.

Here are pictures of Christmas Eve and Christmas day:
