The Child is Nestled Snug in Her Bed

Mmm, Cheese!

Cheese...you are what you eat!

Well my Christmas Eve plans didn't come to pass.  I wanted the perfect night; Sabrina on my lap as we sit by the stockings hung over the fireplace with hot cocoa while Gregg reads us The Night Before Christmas and carols play.  Sabrina had other plans.  She only took one nap today, then went out with Papa to Costco and who knows where else shopping while I stayed home and cleaned the house.  When they got home, I fed her a meal and then she was still in the mood to play and way too wound up for sleep.  So we played for a while, then I could sense the tired mood coming on.  However, it was already 6:30 and there was no way I was putting her in for a nap now.  So off to the tub, where she decided tonight was kick and splash most of the water on to Daddy night.  Fought for 20 minutes to get the Christmas Eve pajamas on, then on to a bottle.  After the bottle...zonk.  Out cold.  Oh well, it was almost 8 anyway, so down she went.  I have a feeling early to sleep Christmas Eve's are something that I should enjoy while I can!  Gregg and I will have some wine and finish up our Christmas preparations, and in the morning I'll post pictures of our first Christmas together.  I hope you're all enjoying your night!  Happy Christmas!
