Christmas Eve Eve

This year (Aunt) Valerie came over again for pre-Christmas festivities. We successfully wrapped gifts, baked goodies, drank wine, and managed to start a grease fire in the oven while cooking bacon. (Last year we attempted to make Bacon Jam for our men and burnt it to a charcoal-looking crisp!)

Leila had a great time watching us (ok, mostly Val) wrap presents and Valerie had a great time trying for a Christmas miracle...Leila's first laugh.

No laughing YET! But we did get a ton of cute pictures!





My favorite of the day...smiling at Mommy:)
