Christmas Eve was a busy day for the Brown Family. We decided to head up to New York for Christmas this year since it will be our last Christmas up north for quite a while. So we tried visiting with as many family as we could in the little time that we had there. On Christmas Eve morning we went over my daddy's brother's house and I got to play with my cousins. After playing we had donuts for a snack. It was my first time having donuts and my favorite were the chocolate munchkins. Mommy gave me a jelly one but I didn't really like it. Can you believe I ate three chocolate munchkins...they were yummy!
Tyler and Molly liked the donuts too! 
Julia with her cousins Tyler, Molly, and Leah. It's amazing but everyone is looking at the camera. Julia really enjoyed playing with her cousins and had lots of fun and now she calls Tyler 'Ty' and Molly 'Mol.' 
Of course we had to take a picture in front of the mountain of snow in the circle where mommy grew up. Mommy says she use to go sledding down the hill and play there all the time as a kid. It looks like fun but I don't know if I'd like all that cold weather in New York. 
Julia had fun with her other cousin Chelsea. The dog Violet and Elmo wanted to get in the picture too!
Julia was being silly with the wrapping paper and having fun with Grandma while daddy and Uncle Chris were trying to fix the TV.
Julia was a bit exhausted from all the traveling and our busy day. Taking a break and relaxing on daddy's lap.
We had to leave out some cookies for Santa. Julia said he wanted 2 cookies. Of course Julia wanted a cookie too as her snack.
The perfect bedtime story on Christmas Eve...The Night Before Christmas!
I guess Julia was excited about Santa's arrival because she didn't want to go to bed. She was in bed around 8:30 and two hours later she was still awake. Actually she finally fell asleep at 11:00.
I guess I wasn't helping the going to bed situation either by bringing her in our room and taking pictures of her but it was pretty funny. Julia loves her pink sweater and often times she likes to wear it over her pajamas...she's such a silly girl. 
I love, love, love the silly pictures of Julia on Christmas eve night when she was supposed to be going to sleep, it's like she knew what was happening like every other kid who can't sleep when Santa (HoHo) is coming. Her PJ's looked really good in the picture, too. We all had so much fun.
