Merry Christmas Eve!

Emily had such a full day Christmas Eve. We left the house around noon and didn't get back home until about 7:30p. It was so much fun though! First we went to Uncle Cory and Aunt Marjie's house for a soup and salad lunch with their friends from out of town. Emily got to play with Sophie while we were there! They had a real good time playing together and they are both such sweeties!

After we left Uncle Cory and Aunt Marjie's we headed over to the Vila's home where Emily got to say hi to her other friends, Nicholas, Sydney, Mallory, and Kayleigh. And of course Tony and Brenda! We did a gift exchange with Nick and Sydney and the kids were all so excited to see each other! We had a nice visit and Em even took a short nap while we were there!They had the yard decked out with lights and inflatable decorations. Em especially loved the inflatable Santa that Brenda and Tony "brought to life" She had quite the laugh!

Afterwards, we went to walk around Lake Ella and then when it got close to 6:00 we went to Dorothy B Oven Park to look at all the lights they had up! It was so beautiful. Emily had already had a long day but she really liked this! I think we will go there every Christmas Eve to see the lights! Em even managed to stay awake on the ride home so she could take a bath (her favorite thing)then she went to bed and had visions of sugar plums dancing in her head I'm sure of it!
