the stockings were hung...

by the chimney with care...

{these are the stockings I cross-stitched for the four of us}

In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there...

{R with his hot chocolate mustache}

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve. As soon as K finished working for the day, we went to Jill's to share their Christmas Eve traditional Tourtiere dinner with her and her family. After dinner, Miss S and I, and Jill and her daughter, attended a Christmas Eve mass {while the boys stayed back to put Baby G to bed, and watch a Christmas movie}.

Miss S enjoyed all the singing and sitting up by the alter with the other children, {however, I had several small panic attacks each time she inched closer and closer to the wreath - she had asked me if she could blow out the advent candles - she must have thought it was like a birthday cake...}. Miss S also kept saying to me "light the PINK candle"...

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads...

And K had visions of this, in our new entertainment armoire

for the family room in the new house...so he went ahead and ordered it on Christmas Eve in the Pre-Boxing Week sale!
