Christmas was so much fun this year! The kids are at the perfect age where they both get it & the magic of the night is all consuming! :) On Christmas Eve we went to church then headed out to my folks' house to eat our traditional crab & cheese sandwiches & soup & celebrate Jesus' birthday with a birthday cake! Oh, and Santa made a stop at Nana & Papa's house while we were outside so we not only opened presents from Nana & Papa & Dusty & Gina but a couple from Santa too! We really missed having EJ & Jenee home but are excited to see them this weekend up at Big Sky! After opening gifts with everybody, the four of us headed home--the kiddos had a "sleepover" in Brady's bed & they were soooo excited & so.darn.cute. Jeff & I read them 'Twas the Night Before Christmas & they fell asleep while we got to work! :) So many special memories the next morning opening gifts in our new house--loved watching them come down the stairs & see all the goodies!

Christmas night we celebrated my grandma's 90th birthday--our whole family made her a photo album--pretty amazing to have her baby picture on the front considering she grew up in an orphanage most of her life!

This sums up the excitement on Christmas Eve!! :)
