Christmas Eve...The Countdown Begins!

After Ian's nap, we had dinner and then Daddy suggested going out for frozen yogurt. It's cold and rainy, but that still sounded like a fun Christmas Eve treat. So we packed up, got our yogurt, and then headed to the video store. Daddy hadn't seen Shrek 2 and heaven forbid he watch Shrek 3 without having seen Shrek 2! :-) Ian LOVED the video store. It was pretty empty, so he just ran circles around the place.

Ian was doing really good holding onto our hands while he ran, so we couldn't complain.

Haha...I love this pic! I think he is trying to get his jacket back up on his shoulders (it kept slipping down), but he looks like he is having so much fun! (I think he looks so grown up with his jacket hanging down like that.)

We looked at some Christmas lights on the way home and then came in to our own pretty tree!

Ian loved looking at all the gifts under the tree.

According to our fun Christmas Eve traditions that James and I both grew up with, we all opened one gift each tonight. Ian's was a mini pillow pet.

Mine was a beautiful set of blue and white freshwater pearls! Daddy did a great job!

Daddy showing off Ian's little cuddle pet. (He got Charlie Brown boxers.)

Ha - I was picking things up and noticed Ian had grabbed Daddy's bubble tea off the counter and was finishing it off!

It wasn't long before Ian had found his way in the pantry and was clearing off the first shelf. He's grown a bit this last month and can now reach all the way back on that shelf (as well as halfway across the counter tops!).

He had so much fun setting all the non-breakables on the floor. (That's all we keep there anymore.)

Good ole olive oil!





Back in the office, Ian found an old phone I had set in there. He loves talking on the phone now and had a cute little conversation with himself. Unfortunately, I missed it both on video and photo. I'll have to get another video sometime soon.

Now our little darling is all tucked in to bed and we are finishing up some Christmas present wrapping. Looking forward to tomorrow! Merry Christmas Eve!
