Our traditional photo with Santa, Lily was loving it. This Santa is so popular that Chad and Bill got up at 6am drove to Dallas, stood in line to get tickets for us to see him. We've been going to him for the last five years and we just think he is a great Santa.
The stockings were hung from the chimney with care,
with hopes of St. Nickolas soon to be there.
We have our nice sit down dinner on Christmas eve. I love doing it this way; gives me more time to relax and enjoy Christmas.
I made prime rib, creamed corn, potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Which if I do say so myself it was a brilliant dinner. Everything turned out great and a feast was enjoyed by all.
Owen, our little artist received an art set. 
On Christmas morning we had sticky buns while we opened presents. Nan set hers down for a minute and Miss Lily was all over them. 
Opening the grand finale present! The Wii!
This was my favorite Christmas memory. We gave Lily a doll/stroller set. She carried the doll all around and pushed her all over the house. It just did my heart well.
The little mother.
Nan knitted Lily a beautiful sweater. I loved it so much I've had her wear it for the last two days.
Owen saw Nan putting on the finishing touches on Lily's sweater and asked Nan to nip him something (for some reason the word knit just couldn't come out of his mouth, so nip was the word). She did and under great pressure too I might add. Owen watched her nip almost the entire scarf. And about every ten minutes he'd ask her if she was finished. When she finally was finished he wore it proudly day and night.
Nan worried about how poor Luke would feel, not having anything from his Nana so she got out her needles and niped some more. Maybe a bit too much, the hat is perfect for some conjoined twins. :)! But even Luke loves his gift wore it proudly today while riding his bigwheels. 
Don't you just love Nan?! She nipped my twins the cutest hats when they were born and I still pull them out every winter just praying that somehow they've grown while sitting in their drawer over the summer. But alas, they don't fit anymore. Glad y'all had a great Christmas! (Your card was hysterical BTW. I laughed until I cried.)
