1*11*11

My mom makes Christmas so perfect.
ever since I can remember. Christmas was so joyful.
With ALOT of preparation!
Down to the Teeny Tiny details!
Its simply pure Magic. Like Santa's house would be.
.
I wonder if I will be able to carry that tradition with my own family.
Her Shoes are HARD to fill.
.
.
Christmas Eve is bigger then Christmas day at the "Walkers".
It starts early morning till late at night when everyone leaves and hopes all our kids fall asleep on the way home, making santa's job a little easier. :)
We go around one by one and say what ever our heart desires.
Its getting to be longer and longer every year as the Oldest grandkids are now participating.
It usually ends up to be a warm, cozy cry fest. :)
.
.
Then Dinner is cleaned up and we do games and presents.
.
Here is a picture of my dad playing chess with his grandson.
{which he is probually thinking "I will rip your lips off" in this picture}
Mike and I teaching the girls how to play Monopoly. SAD!!!
they didn't know how to play!
WHAT KIND OF WORLD DO WE LIVE IN?????
lol
so we MADE {pull, scratch, bite} them play and learn the basic game.
seriously people! Im embarrassed.
Abbie WON.....BIG TIME. and they ended up liking it.
{see I told you so}
Again, a perfect christmas eve and the "Walker" Cottage.
Let the NEW YEAR RING.
.
.
