Party for Girls ...

On Friday Night, usually the Neals put up the Christmas tree! We exchange ornanments, and decorate it together! Well this year, only a couple of us stayed home to do this!! Tivy was playing a playoff football game in San Antonio ... Roy, Bryan, Ryan and Troy went to it! Ben and Kristi took advantage of the babysitters, and decided to go out on a date ... which was fine by us!! Marissa and Emery went to her mother's house! Granny stayed for a little bit, but decided she wanted to go home to watch her new tv!! This left Me, Mimi, LE and Bella! A girls party for FOUR!

I got my video camera out, so everyone could later enjoy watching the girls put their ornanments on the tree! For background Christmas music, we put in The Polar Express. WHoops, big mistake ... Bella and Landry could not take their eyes off of the TV! SO, the tree decorating got put on hold, while we watched the movie!!

As still as can be, during the movie ...

On a chilly day after thanksgiving, what do you need during a movie!?

Answer: Good company, Mimi's Hot Cocco and Popcorn

Landry, Enjoying Mimi's Coco

Getting Every Last Drop ...
Her "Hot Chocolate Face"

Love this picture ...
(Don't think I need to explain!)

Bella stood up to get another handful of popcorn! She was so caught up in the movie, hot chocolate, popcorn ... she slowly sat down, and totally missed her chair! Mimi and I laughed so hard ... It was so funny!!

I told Landry that she had popcorn on her face, and she said, "Susan, you want a picture of my 'popcorn face'?" I said, of course ... so she got a handful of popcorn and shoved some in her face! So, here is the picture of her popcorn face!

Landry with her princess ornanment that her Uncle Bryan and Aunt Susan gave her!

She decided to wear the "Christmas Claus" hat ...

Bella showing me her princess ornaments from us!

Landry putting her ornanments on the tree!

Earlier in the evening, we tried to get Bella to wear this hat, but she would have nothing to do with it! Then, out of no where ... she decided to put it on!! hehe

We are done!

When we were done with the ornanments, I showed the girls a video of them on my camera ... then we decided to watch it on Mimi's big TV! SO we watched some Christmas videos from last year, then a couple from this year!!

Landry then has some request, "Let's watch the one with Bella crying!" While Landry was helping her dad put the star on the top of the tree, Bella got a hold of Landry's doll ... so yes, there were tears!

It was a great night!! And crazy enough, with all the popcorn, excitement and hot chocolate, we all went to bed a little after 11 PM!
