Jasmine and I hit the Mongolian Grill for lunch today. A favorite of ours. How many combos can we make…

Although, Jasmine always leaves room for icecream. I didn’t.

It’s Christmas Day!. That means opening presents, eating chocolate all day and getting up at an ungodly hour. Jasmine out did herself this year. Last year she woke up at 2am, this year she started at 1am. Jeff and I finally gave in at 5am.

We had Christmas dinner for lunch and then munched on appetizers all day and evening. Jeff had his nap at 10am. I held out until 3pm. Jasmine was up all day and didn’t crash until 9:30pm that night. The girl loves her Christmas!

Yeah, its Christmas Eve. Jasmine is so excited.

We headed out to lunch. Our tradition of eating Chinese on the eve continues. Although Jas’s entree selection was chicken fingers and fries, she did have egg drop soup.

Jasmine was prepped and ready that evening. She wrote a letter to Santa, and carefully arranged a platter of cookies and carrots for the big guy and the reindeer.

We were the multi-tasking family today. Dropped the car for oil change. Walked to the nearby mall to drop off a letter to Santa. Eat lunch at Cheesecake factory. Browse some stores. Pick up car. Go home and rest.

We hosted a holiday party for friends Beth, Ella and Tony tonight. You can see Emily did a fantastic job decorating our place. We also rearranged our living room in the process.

The snacks on our dining room table were quite delicious.
