I know...way behind...but here are a few pictures from that night.
Our annual Christmas Eve Chinese Dinner with the Aidukaitis family. Can you believe we are all residents of Arizona? More of us living here than in Utah!
After dinner Natalie decided she wanted to snack on what we didn't finish at the restaurant.
She then promptly feel asleep for a much needed nap - at 8 pm - on our drive to the Narducci's.
We arrived at the Narducci's for our traditional $5 gift exchange while reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. And this year I was given the honor to read it. Afterward we dressed the kids in their new pj's and I snapped a few shots of them. Unfortunately these were the only ones that turned out - none of them with Madi or Rilus - bummer.
No other pictures were taken that night, at least by me. By the time we got home it was late, we were tired and I just put Natalie to bed. We put out cookies and chocolate milk for Santa, but only after Natalie was asleep. Bad parents? Maybe. But at least there was the evidence the next morning that he had been there and enjoyed the treat (and left a few presents)!

It really hit me looking at the picture of the family on Christmas Eve that there ARE a ton of us here in Arizona now! WOW!
Finally! Hooray for blogging! New jammies on Christmas is the best.
I love the Chinese Food tradition. Original!
I like the Chinese food tradition, but by the looks of that picutre, we need to spread the Aidukaitises to more corners of the earth. Isn't it about time Aidukaitis became a household name?
Glad you had a merry Christmas.
