Annabelle is very particular about her holiday traditions. She is our fabulous tween with all the moodiness and and angst that come with being 11. Just when I think she is ambivalent, she reels me in and lays out her very favorite activities, hopes, and expectations for the holidays. She is so very serious and concise that we all just hop on board.

One of the traditions is her Christmas Eve movie. We had a busy 24th planned so she conceded to a movie on the 23rd instead. We found a movie that everyone would enjoy and off we headed to see The Grinch. 

I maaaaay have fallen asleep during this movie, but it doesn’t say anything about the movie but more about drink the tree the night before….ha! 

Anyone else notice these girls wearing the same shirt? I had nothing to do with this but it sure does make me smile! I love that they are so stinkin’ cute like this.
