Christmas Eve

We knew that we wouldn't be able to be in our new house by Christmas (we closed the week before and had LOTS of painting to do and carpet to replace)... SO we decided to spend Christmas this year at each of parents' houses. We started at Marc's parents. We made it there on the 23rd, later afternoon. We enjoyed dinner and games. On Christmas Eve we enjoyed opening presents with Marc's parents and sister. We also had a huge yummy Christmas lunch...

Playing some Christmas Carols with Aunt NeeNee:
Macey's new Minnie mouse sleep mat from Grandpa & Grandma--she LOVED this. I had to hide it when we got home b/c she wants to sleep with it every night.

Sadie's new bath robe from Aunt NeeNee...

We headed to Bowen Christmas Eve evening for church. Afterwards Jason & Trista's family came to my parents and we enjoyed some games and lots of yummy snacks.

The kids exchanged gifts with each other...

Grandma had extra-long licorice as a special treat!

The kids got to open their Christmas jammies at the beginning of December this year, but I saved their books for Christmas Eve. I loved getting Sadie one of my favorite Christmas books from when I was little.

And finally, the kids loved putting out cookies and milk for Santa:

Now the waiting begins...
