She also participates in Christmas Eve dinner, saying, “I always make pasta and like eggplant Parmesan. I don’t know if that’s super traditional Italian, but our Italian.”

The Greatalum told the outlet that she was celebrating the holidays with her sister and the rest of their family in L.A. Part of the tradition included dressing up in pajamas and playing some fun games at home.

Dakota could be seen only blowing out a few candles with her attempts, while Elle was slightly more successful, blowing out nearly half of the candles with her try.
