The day that we had been counting down to finally arrived: Christmas Eve. This was our countdown calendar that we had been counting down since December 1st. The day finally came for her to take the SANTA off, which was what she'd been looking forward to because he was coming that night! On a sidenote: she did ask me why there wasn't a baby Jesus on there. I was VERY proud of her for that. She knows what Christmas is about.
One more day...
That night, Travis's mom and step-dad were coming over for dinner. Travis did all the cooking. Shocking, I know, that I didn't help. HE REALLY doesn't want me to! His mom had sent that apron over with Tim that morning along with some food, and I had to take his picture in it. I don't have a picture, but all of the food was excellent. Good work, as usual, Travis.
Exchanging gifts that night.
I know her face is solemn, but she gets like that in front of...anyone but me, Travis, my mom, my grandmother and Harrison. I don't know why. She goes to school 3 days a week...what am I going to do? ANYWAY, Tim chose the most thoughtful gift for her: a karaoke machine! She LOVES it. That's MY girl.
Eletha and Tim
She got a jump rope, and she's wanted one for quite a while!
Candy is always a fave.
Only she and I were allowed to be in the room to sing. They were watching and laughing from around the corner though.
She dances too.
Before we went to bed, Daddy read the Christmas story. She paid very close attention.

Please go back and write rope! Do you want people thinking you're from Kentucky?
Do you realize I uploaded, edited and then arranged over 200 pictures? THEN I tried to put them in the correct order with somewhat of an explanation for you to see. ALL in one sitting, I might add. Forgive me.
