I asked Jes and Sam to get together for a Christmas Eve picture but they were mad at one another, that's why their arms are crossed. I reminded them that Santa was coming that night and he was not going to leave presents for them is they were fighting.
They decided they should make up...fast!
Jessica and Samantha were so excited it was finally Christmas Eve! They made Santa cookies before we left for Columbia and a sign to make sure he didn't miss our house!
We got in the car and I got the phone out to call Mom to let her know we were on our way. Jessica asked what time were we supposed to be there and I said 6:00, in five minutes (we live 40 minutes away.) Jes told me to tell Nana we didn't make it to Columbia but we did make it to the car. For us that is a big accomplishment!
When we finally arrived after 6:30 Hanna, Drew and Mandy were taking care of the shrimp for us. 
Caden, Mandy's son, was there and the girls had a great time playing with him.
Tiffany, Hanna's cousin, was there too. She was especially "fond" of Clint!
Linda and Lucille
Dad and Dewayne
Jessica and Nana
Jessica and Samantha decided to tie themselves together with a pink scarf. They stayed tied together all the way there in the car and finally decided to untie themselves because it would be easier to open their gifts!
After they opened their gifts, they put on the Christmas nightgowns that Aunt Sue gave them so they would be ready for Santa when we got home. Just in case he flew over us in the truck they could close their eyes and pretend to be asleep.
These precious angels don't have to worry about Santa skipping their house. ...
'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house, all the creatures were stirring, even a mouse...Yes, Nana got the girls their own Zhu Zhu pets. Jessica named the white one Delizer and Samantha named her brown one Coacoa.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children weren't nestled all snug in their beds,
But visions of sugar-plums still danced in their heads...
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
