Christmas Eve with GG
pamelamyers | December 24, 2018
It’s Christmas Eve and it’s off to Grandmother’s house we go! Sam loves going to her GG’s house on Christmas Eve for so many reasons, but I think mostly because she knows she gets to open her stocking and one present of her choice. Sam is obsessed with stockings and barely let us sit down before she dove in.
Thank you, GG!
Sam picked a very big box which turned out to be a super fuzzy blanket with Christmas cats all over it.
Um….Sam? I don’t think that is what you are supposed to do with blankets.
When it was Mark’s turn to open his stocking, he made her crazy because instead of just unwrapping everything, he tried to guess what each item was first.
Eventually, Sam started unwrapping for him.
Merry Christmas from the girls!
No one gets to open their own stuff with Sam around. Poor GG got help whether she wanted it or not.
Sam was really only supposed to open one gift, but when she saw a gift to her from Bella, she said she had to open it while Bella was around, and not at our house. Ok, that does make sense. You win! I think Bella wants to play Parcheesi!
While we were there the fire engines came down the street making a racket so we had to see what was going on. THIS was going on!! Santa!
Sam and Mark played us some Christmas carols, which was a nice way to end the night.
As soon as we got home, Sam got the treats ready for Santa and the reindeer. Cranberry juice instead of milk. I love the note on the lollipop (save for ride home).
It’s off to bed so Santa can come! We can’t wait!!
She’s Got Some Talent

On one of our many trips to AC Moore, we saw this craft idea on display. We couldn’t wait to go home and make it. It was super simple and it looks great!
It’s Party Time!

Sam’s school party was today! It was so much fun! I love being homeroom mom and getting to see her enjoying her day with her classmates. As a craft, they made snowglobes! Sam made hers to look like our family, complete with cats!
I had brought along some photo props just as a lark, and they were the biggest hit! The kids spent so much time hamming it up. I have a million pictures, but here are the ones with Sam.
After their snacks and whatnot, I gave her teacher the class gift (a gift card), and this ornament that I found for her.
What a great party! I really hope I get to be homeroom mom next year. There are only so many years I can get that chance to be so involved and see what goes on in her world. I’ll take what I can get!
Everyone loves Christmas in This House!

Christmas is a VERY big deal at our house and everyone gets in on the act. I mean, everyone. Sam had a blast taking a million pictures of her favorite dolls and toys all ready for Christmas. Here are some of Sam’s best.
Baby Ann and Baby got matching outfits this year!
Who is that sneaking behind Baby Ann, Baby and Boo Boo?
Time to get in the spirit!
Everyone had a visit with Santa. We know what Penny wants!
Oh boy. That’s quite a crowd! Poor Santa!
