Merry Christmas Eve!!

We had to re-home our dog Molly this morning.   She will be very happy with an older gentleman with no kids poking at her, or trying to sit on her.  LOL  She is getting old, and just not able to put up with that stuff anymore.  We will miss her, and the kids are sad, but this is really for the best for everyone, especially Molly. 
It’s been snowing pretty much all day!  YAY!!  We’re gonna have our white Christmas after all! 
Today in the mail Timothy’s Certificate of Citizenship came!  YAY again!!
The little ones are napping, the big ones are doing their things, and I’m watching “White Christmas” on AMC.  
Tonight my Mom came over for supper and for our cookie decorating.  She gave the kids their goodies tonight too.  The little ones got Pillow Pets, a Panda for Timothy, and a Lady Bug for Olivia.  She also gave the little ones another give, Timothy got a big Mega Doodle thingy, and Olivia got a pair of ear rings.  Kati got the same ear rings, and Joe got an iTunes card.  Because I knew that he was getting that, I also let him open another gift, his new iPod.  He is thrilled!!  Kati got some more jewelry (I chose a gift for her to open early too since Joe got to. 
Supper was good.  Traditional Cuban Christmas Eve dinner, roasted pork, black beans & rice, and fried plantains.  YUMMY!!   Timothy LOVED the plantains, and of course, the rice.  He did take a bite of the meat but it came right back out!  LOL
Everyone has on their new Christmas jammies, and the little ones are already in bed.  John, Kati, and I are watching Disney’s Christmas Carol (the one with Jim Carey).  So far it’s not bad.  A little scary though for the little ones, don’t think they’ll be watching it this year.   Although, the tv is so loud Olivia is getting to hear it… she is still awake after going to bed over an hour ago. 
I’m so excited for tomorrow.  I can’t wait to see how Timothy does!  I’m sure it will be quite overwhelming to him.  LOL 
Here are a few pics from tonight…
Hey Duuuude! 

Ooooh!!  Nonnie made me a warm scarf!

Timothy tore off tiny bits at a time,
 Momma had to help a little, but he finally got it!
