Christmas Eve

It was Jillian's first Christmas Eve! We spent the evening with the Peterson family at the Verd house. It was packed, with Grandpa Ken & Bev, Uncle Clark & Auntie Greta, Auntie Sheryl & Auntie Denise, Mommy and Daddy and Cousins Meagan, Adam, Andy and Jillian (with the traditional appearance by Missy & Steven).

We had a big dinner of tacos with all the fixings, followed by whatever desserts we could cram in. Then we got down to the business of opening presents! There were lots, and throughout the evening, Jillian liked to roam around and check out what everyone else got, especially Adam and Andy's toys. Occasionally, she'd just sit and play with the wrapping paper (shown here). Jillian received many awesome gifts ... she sends out a big "Thank You!" to everyone. She has lots of serious playing to do with all her new toys, plus she'll look stylin' in all her cool new clothes.

After it was all over, she was one tired little girl ... she immediately sacked out when she got home.
