Christmas Eve

We had Kenny, Melissa, and cousins Parker, Paxton, Hannah, and Dexter over for a Christmas Eve dinner.  Grandma Annette came too.  Although the day started out a little bah-hum-bug... it definitely picked up as the evening wore on.  We had the traditional ham, potatoes, stuffing, rolls, etc. that was so yummy.  And we also got a little snow, which made it feel more like Christmas.

Tyce laid on the stairs waiting for the fun to begin.
 After dinner, it was time to make graham cracker gingerbread houses.
 These young ones mostly just ate their candy and graham crackers:)
 The older kids actually made some cool houses

 We watched a few nativity clips from the Church's website and then got out our puppets.  Here is our cast:

 And of course, the family picture by the tree.
 The boys were so excited to open their Christmas pj's.



 And then they got to open presents from each other.



Pokeman cards and a slinky... what a great day!  We put them to bed before 9pm and off they went to dream about Santa and reindeer.  Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
