A Christmas tradition of ours has been Francesca gets a new pair of jammies on Christmas Eve to wear that night. This year was no exception. Here she is modeling her new nightgown with Marco, the ever patient cat.

Francesca and I made chocolate chip cookies (her choice) for Santa. Francesca picked out the "special" dishes for Santa and put carrots out for the reindeer. She included some soy milk as well, along with her note (at the bottom of which is her drawing of Santa with hearts all around). She also picked out an orange crayon and a coloring she had done to give to Santa, as she was concerned about the possibility of Santa not getting any gifts.

The tree with all the gifts (and a crooked star!).

Off to bed to rest up for Christmas...
