Christmas Eve 2008... The girls were so excited that Christmas Eve was finally here! We spent Christmas Eve with some good friends from Anne's softball team and we had a great time. We started out at Coach Sam's house for dinner and a few drinks and then loaded everyone up in the trucks to drive around the neighborhood singing Christmas carols and enjoying the lights. Anne and Allison thought it was greatest thing ever. We all thought we spotted Rudolph's nose while we were out riding around so we had to rush home to get to bed! :)

Writing their notes to Santa!

Allison should have thought of writing this stuff out about a month ago. Little late now!

Anne's note cracks me up!

Getting ready to head out.

They were actually pretty nice to each other all day! Oh the Christmas spirit!

Tracking Santa on Norad. That site is the best thing ever.



Anna B, Allison, Carlie, and Anne. Look at those smiles. They were so excited!

Enjoying dinner before we left.

The adults enjoying a little time at the Tiki Hut before heading out.

Loading up the trucks. That got a bit crazy.

Jackson singing his heart out!

The girls all wanted to cram together in one truck.

Their final gift from the Advent Calendar. Glitter body spray...what a great idea...

Opening their one gift on Christmas Eve.


Nice, soft, warm robes...too bad it was like 80 degrees outside.

Setting out the cookies, milk, and their notes to Santa. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
