Christmas Eve

It's Christmas Eve here at the Haynes house and that means we sit down to celebrate each other and the season with a delicious meal, time together, Christmas Eve pajamas, cookies for Santa, and our well-seasoned 15-year-old catnip ornaments for the kitties...drives 'em craaazy.













For dinner, we had ham, asparagus, mashed potatoes, baked apples, and carrot cake for dessert. I'm not sure who's the bigger ham: The spiral ham on the table or Merrit.


















Okay, hands down, Merrit wins the "ham" contest.


















Grizzly bear PJs for the Merrit man.













Skippy, in a catnip coma, allows the littlest Haynes to get close enough to pet her. This MAY be a first. And, yes, she probably needed to be drugged to let it happen!













Mike picked out some tunes on the guitar while we put out cookies and milk for Santa.


















The kids are in their PJs and now it's time to say, "Merry Christmas to all...and to all a good night."
