'Twas the Day Before Christmas

Christmas Eve dawned warm and sunny
Dallin and Luke left early to pick up some last minute things and came back with kolaches for breakfast.


It was warm and sunny and we enjoyed wearing our shorts.

The Duplantis family invited us over for dinner.

Justin and Barbara brought their dog Hector and Jack and Luke loved him!

Awesome picture!


We had some DELICIOUS crab and shrimp gumbo.

Then the boys opened up their Christmas pajamas.

Both boys were so excited about their new pajamas and ran around excitedly before and after we put them on.  

Then we loaded up in the car and drove around to look at Christmas lights.


There were some awesome displays.  I especially like the houses that have Santa being led by a team of alligators. 
Luke wasn't thrilled about being in the car.  Jack loved the lights, but got really tired towards the end, so we cut our tour a little short.

Jack made up a plate of cookies and milk for Santa.


Then he was out like a light with visions of sugar plums dancing in his head.


Dallin and I watched It's a Wonderful Life and then Santa came for a visit and rewarded us well for our good behavior!
