Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve is always a day full a great fun and lots of Family.  In the morning we have breakfast and go bowling with Adam family.  I am not a bowler so I always go for fun and not to win.

By the end of the game the little kids were tired and Little A and his cousin had moved on to the video games, and of course Little A has the orange Gun.

That night we spent the evening with my family.  Every year Santa come to check in on the kids one more time.  Little A was so excited to sit on his lap and we were lucky he stuck with wanting a Crane and a Sub.

This year Santa brought a little something for all the couples too.  You are never too old to sit on Santa’s lap.

Miss M’s first Christmas and I was shocked how well she did with Santa.  She was an attacker of his beard.  I love the picture of the new 2 babies on Santa’s lap, Grandpa had to assist Santa because Miss M was too wiggly and he was afraid he would loose her.

Every year we have a little Nativity program.  The same box of costumes come out that came out with I was a child with a few new things added.  This year Miss M was the Star and Little A was a Shepard.  All kids are a part either dressed up or the older boys take turns reading the story from the scriptures.

Most of my family has season passed to Beaver Mt to ski.  While Aunt Jodi’s wears a purple ski outfit so Hayden came up with a great idea to haul a big box in on a dolly and inside was a Barney DVD.  Now she is know Aunt Barney!

Gift time the cousins always draw names and trade gift.  I love watching the kids sit and watch their cousins open their gifts and be excited for everyone.  Little A loved everything that he received.

My mom has always done Christmas PJ she did it for us when we were kids and now she does it for the grandkids.  This year Little and and K had matching dump truck PJ and Miss M had cute snowman PJ.  I tried to think of something I could do that my kids could open on Christmas eve and would go along with the PJs so I decided that I would make Pillow cases for my kids and before they have a pillow a little blanket.  Little A loved his Mator pillow case. and Miss M is really too little to get it!
