Merry Christmas Eve!! Wow, we have been so busy lately. I can't believe that it has only been a week since I wrote last. I've been cooking and wrapping presents...and don't forget shopping. Kelby has really been having fun shopping. She is really excited about the presents. She always wants to see the toys at the store.

We had friends over for dinner on Thursday night. Then on Friday night we went to the "Festival of Lights" in Warm Beach. It was so much fun. Kelby loved it. It is an outdoor church camp that decorates the whole place with lights. There is a petting zoo, a Santa Claus, a ton of food, carolers, shops, etc. We got there at 6:00 pm, and both girls stayed awake and happy the whole time until we left at 9:15! They just loved it. We carried Tegan around in the backpack. Kelby was dressed in a beautiful little "Miss Santa" jacket and hat. Everyone that saw her walking around commented on how cute she was...I'll include a couple pictures. That jacket and hat have been the most fun for the last week. She has been wearing it everywhere! I think she likes the attention. She didn't want to have anything to do with Santa though. We kinda got a picture, but only with me holding her next to him. Anytime we bring him up now she says..."I don't want to sit on his lap."

On Saturday, we had a pre-Christmas with Mike's family because Zach and Melissa and Riley are in Oregon for Christmas...so we wanted to get together and exchange presents. It was fun to open a present early. Kelby got a cool drawing desk...and then she said..."I want more!" I actually got that statement on video! I am a little worried about that Christmas greed already. She wants to open presents like crazy. She wouldn't eat any turkey until we gave her the entire drumstick! Man, she loved that drumstick though...I'll include some pictures.

Mike and I got to see a movie on Sunday. We went to Lord of the Rings! It was a great movie. It is an experience. You just have to see it on the big screen!

Today is Christmas Eve. I made a wonderful dinner for tonight...with a lot of helpful advice from Gramma and Great Gramma Morrow. Mike had to work half the day, then came home and took Kelby out shopping. I made Prime Rib, twice-baked pototoes, stuffed mushrooms, artichokes, and a salad. We had a candlelight dinner and it was so much fun. I was very proud of myself when I was all done! It turned out good. Then, Michael and I got to go to the candlelight service at church. Now, we are just hanging around waiting for Santa Claus to visit and fill the girls' stockings. We left cheese and sausage for him. I'll try my best to at least get some pictures up tomorrow. Good night to all!
