'Twas the night before Christmas......

Not sure who was more excited today, Mommy, Daddy, or me! Our day was pretty normal with not much rushing around to do so Mommy was quite happy. Mommy and I did go to the mall to buy Mommy a new sweater to wear to church tonight. Mommy thought she was crazy, but we found a front row parking space and we were in out and of the mall with two sweaters within 20 minutes! Mommy knew we were going to have a great day! I took a nice long nap because Mommy and Daddy told me we were going to have a long night! After my nap, we all got dressed up for the childrens' Christmas Mass. I behaved pretty well at church. Allison and I had fun dancing and singing to the music of the childrens' choir. During mass, the priest asked whose birthday it was and I shouted out, "Baby Jesus." Mommy and Daddy were proud. After mass, I took Allison up to take a close look at the nativity. I told Mommy to take our picture and that I wanted it hung on my wall in my bedroom. After mass we went home to gather some presents and then head to Nina Nina Dia's for the rest of the night. Spending Christmas Eve at Nina Nina Dia's is an awesome family tradition that we all enjoy. We eat and play until midnight and then exchange gifts. Before leaving for Nina Nina Dia's house we left cookies and milk out for Santa and carrots for the reindeers. Nina Nina Dia's house was so fun! I received lots of fun new toys that I can't wait to play with. We came home close to 2 in the morning and I was fast asleep. I told Mommy and Daddy that tomorrow we would see if Santa came! Enjoy the photos from today and a short video clip.
