Merry Christmas Eve!

We were lucky this year to not have a white Christmas (we think so anyway) so we could spend the day with Grandpa. He got to our house this morning and stayed until dark. Like 4:30pm!! :)
Matt made the best Swedish pancakes...ohh they were so good. Last time we tried them they didn't turn out, but having my Dad here to tell us how to, made all the difference. Now that he has them down, we are putting them in the rotation for sure!

After baking a pumpkin pie and making a cheesecake we were ready for round 2 of the day.
Fishcakes!
 The smell of them cooking brings me back to when I was so little, and then to eat them was just another piece of heaven today. 2 of my all time favorites all on Christmas Eve. Not much more this Norwegian family could ask for food wise. Well, we did talk about all the cookies my Grandma used to make, so maybe her cookies too, then it would have been totally complete.
Not complaining here though. The food and the company of my family was all that this pregnant Momma needed! 



Grandpa got Mayson this microphone that she could not get enough of. It sings and plays music, or you can just sing by yourself. We were lucky enough (a little too lucky after awhile) to get a concert that lasted the afternoon. Of course, after every song she would do her bow and say her famous line..."OK now clap for me everybody!" It was fun but the lady can go on and on and on...

Sing it to us May...feel it...sing it...dance it...



There was lots of posing and moving when she was in front of the tree. Still pictures makes her look like a stiff, but trust me she can shake it.



I try to get Mayson to wear cute/matching/some what presentable clothes when she is home, but it just does not happen. I have given up on her clothes changing a long time ago. The average outfit lasts about an hour on her anyway, so whatever...I just let her express herself. 
Check out the polka dots here..the shirt is even on backwards.
Love my MayPie.
Love my family.


Mayson did not take a nap today. Too much excitement and too many fishcakes!
At about 6pm she grabbed her blanket and went to her room. A little later we checked on her, because it was way too quite and this is where we found her. Shoes on, lights on, passed out.

Lucky for us we got her tubby in and her Christmas pj's on.
I thought for sure she was out for the night, so we brought out all the presents for the tree and stockings.
She like most has been present hungry, so we decided to just wait for tonight so they don't haunt her in wanting to open them. We put her to bed, but she was back up at 8:30pm. Dang, Matt won the bet!

The Milian on the other hand was ready to go!
He has his Christmas pj's on and is all ready for Santa.




I was happy that May got up, so she could leave Santa cookies and milk. She had been talking about it for so long, that she would have been sad in the morning if she slept through it.

This picture does not show it, but she was very excited and picked out exactly what cookies to leave for Santa. I told her that maybe Santa will bring a cookie home for Mrs. Claus to have? But Daddy said no that Santa will probably eat them both!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Off to Mimi and Bobba's in the morning!
