Christmas Eve

Putting out Santa's milk and cookies (and a carrot for

the reindeers!!)

Gabby making cookies for Santa (and eating more 

cookie doe and baking them of course!!)  

I love this pic of Gabriella and Ellie at dinner!!

The men cleaning up....I couldn't believe my eyes!!

I forgot to enter our Christmas Eve this year in with my Christmas posting so I'm adding it now...better late than never!!  Anyway, Gabby made cookies for Santa in the morning and then we had our very good friends Angela, Dan and Ellie McDonald over for dinner.  We had a wonderful time!!  Ellie and Gabby are such good friends....it was so fun to see them dance, laugh, open gifts and enjoy each other all night.  I made all fish for dinner (Italian tradition) and it was really good.  We had salmon, calamari, shrimp, and pasta...I think that's it.  It was a great evening and Gabby and Dante were absolutely exhausted by the end but Gabby still had enough energy to put out milk and cookies for Santa.  What a fantastic night!!!
