Christmas Eve

Bert's parents came up on Christmas Eve and we so enjoyed getting to spend the day with them!  We had a relaxing afternoon, followed by a yummy dinner (where I got to use my Christmas china!), a movie and hot chocolate!  


Grandmama brought our family a fun Christmas Eve basket.  She had all kinds of goodies packed in this bin....snacks, Christmas mugs for Bert and me, Christmas pajamas for the girls, a family ornament, cute Christmas cups for the girls, and much more!  


Grandmama letting Claire check out the tree.  


This sweet thing woke up on the 23rd with a cough and chest congestion.  It came out of nowhere.  Boooo.  We decided to take her in to the doctor early Christmas Eve morning (they were only open for a few hours).  We are super glad we did.  She had bronchitis and was put on an antibiotic and steroid.  She was much better by Christmas day but we were crazy careful to literally not let her play with or touch any of her sweet cousins.  


This cutie just recently started letting go of whatever she is holding onto and standing by herself for up to about a minute.  On Christmas Eve night Bert was putting her sisters down for bed and I was about to put Claire to bed, when she decided to stand up by herself from the sitting position...she didn't use anything to pull up on. 

Aunt Carrie caught this cute progression of pictures:  





Claire was so proud of herself!

After the kids were in bed we enjoyed watching Christmas movies, putting things together (Bert) and just talking.  It was a great Christmas Eve!
