Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at Ma and Pa's house this year. We enjoyed Ma and Pa's yummy turkey dinner (except Tessa who ate Wheels and Cheese).

 We played some fun games together. The kids played Flipped the Cup. Adam and Tessa were pretty good at this!

 Then we played a game where everyone had to try and get the pom pom on the end of their string to stick on their noses. This was hilarious to watch!

 Next came the candy cane game. Uncle Danny was determined to win this one!

 Our last game was to make antlers with pantyhose and balloons. 

 Tessa and Katy got to show their final products. 

 Uncle Danny wrote a new Christmas story for the kids about the North Pole Trolls. We have been waiting to hear this story for weeks. It did not disappoint! We laughed and laughed!

 Then Pa read the Polar Express and the Christmas Story from the Bible. 

 The kids were anxious to get home and open their Christmas Eve presents. Gwen was so excited to open something...finally!!

 Caleb was first!

 Gwen drove everyone crazy by ripping tiny pieces of paper at a time. She eventually got to her book. 

 They left Santa some treats and went to bed as fast as they could!

 Mommy got to peak at Santa's work. The kids must have been good this year!
