Christmas Eve

 First off, Merry Christmas Eve everybody! Can you believe it? It still does not feel like Christmas! Or December, for that matter! Maybe it is because the South has been very sunny (and quite warm) recently. 

 On Wednesday, Nana and Papa came. It was very fun, we socialized and had a good time talking and catching up with one another. 
Thursday was the day Nanie would be coming, and before she would show up at our house, Nana & Papa decided to take me, Aidan, Declan, and Maeve to the movies. Our options were: Alvin and the Chipmunks 3, We Bought a Zoo, and the Muppet's. We ended up going to see the Muppet's. It was a pretty good movie. Ma-naw-ma-naw! When we got home, Nanie was already there, and it turns out that she had been there since 1:30.
 Today was quite a flurry of activities. I had not been sleeping very well, and had woken up many times during the night. But the first time I woke up, the Christmas tree light was on.(Nana & Papa had been sleeping in my room so Maeve and I slept in the living room.) This was at 2:30-3:00. Then, I heard footsteps. I looked around, and saw Declan coming. He walked over, and began to pet Gypsy, our cat. 

''What are you doing?" I mumbled 

''Petting Gypsy." Was his reply

"Wait, how did you know she was there?"

"I saw her."

This was weird. "Wait, were you the one who turned on the Christmas tree?" I asked

"Yes." said Declan.

"Can you turn it off? It is bright!" I said. He did, thankfully, and I went back to sleep.

 The second time I awoke, was around 4:30-5. First, I saw Declan walking around again. Then Aidan. Aidan, who had Molly with him, decided to let her out at 4:45 AM! Now Declan decided he was going to get breakfast. I was not fixing on being up at 4:45, so I went up to him and told him to go back to bed. 
"No." Was his response.
Now, instead of dealing with him at 4:45, I went and got my Mom. When I told her about Declan and how he was getting breakfast, she instantly got up and sent him to bed. 
 The rest of the day was fun. At 3:00 me, Mom, Nana, Papa; Aidan all were going to be going to Christmas Eve mass. We got there around 3:30 and had to wait for a while for mass to start. Luckily, we got there early enough for good seats. 
 When we left, we went home for dinner. Dinner was ham, broccoli, corn, potato souffle, rolls, meatballs, and cranberry sauce. Dinner was very good, and if we ate all of our dinner, we would get peppermint ice cream! Definitely a good dinner. Now, I am sitting here. My siblings have gone to bed, and I hope that I too, can get a good nights rest for tomorrow.


So, good night everybody, and Merry Christmas Eve!
God Bless,
