Christmas Eve @ our house

Today we had my side of the family over to celebrate Jesus birthday.
Beings we were not in the car traveling I let Allie pick out her own outfit.
That will explain why she looks like she is dressed for summer.
Allie is busy showing off her painting skills to Grandma and Ike has found her best friend my dad.
The simplest way I could explain to Allie what this was all about was to tell her
"its Jesus birthday and we celebrate by giving gifts"
I think she kinda got it hopefully every year she will get it a little more.
The last couple years we were busy helping Allie open stuff, but not this year she was busy helping everyone else get into theirs gifts.
Hanging out enjoying one another.
We all have at least one in the bunch.
Most get to say good bye to them at the end of the day.
Not the case for me. 
I get to live with the funny guy. 
:)
Erin made mom and me a cake for our birthday.
Setting out cookies and water for Santa or better known to Allie as the" Christmas Guy"
Before going to bed Allie's words to me
"Mom.. I don't want that guy that say's ho ho ho to come into my room".
My response to this
 "oh Allie you don't have to worry he won't come in your room".
