Christmas Eve

We had a big Christmas Eve. Whit and I were still sick, but the kids felt great and Hugh and Lila came in that night, right about the time Dad came home from work. We had clam chowder and chili (which we didn't really feel up to eating, but it was good!) and the kids opened two presents each. They got new pajamas (with their names on them) for Christmas, and Dora opened a tiara and earrings from a friend, and Eli opened his battleship (with airplanes, etc) from Papa Don.

The kids were happy to see Hugh and Lila. Dora's not usually really huggy, so I snapped a shot of this.

Eli was giddy about his battleship.

Dora gave each toy her rapt attention.

We couldn't wait for Christmas morning!! I hear Santa was up until like midnight putting finishing touches on Dora's kitchen...

Love the picture of Dora hugging PaPa Hugh - so cute!

By the way, I'm very excited to see all these new blogs.
