Christmas Eve Pictures 08

The Christmas Season is always a busy one!.....In short....Christmas Eve morning, it has been tradition for the past 3 or 4 years to have my sister, brother-in-law, mom and dad over for brunch and then open our gifts from one another. Then, we usually go to church (which this year we opted, again, not to go due to the kids not being able to sit for an hour in one place QUIETLY!) Christmas Eve night we go to my Uncle Bob's house and spend time with my mom's side of the family. Christmas morning is spent with Greg's family at his mom and dad's house. Christmas night is spent with my dad's side of the family at my Aunt Bonnie's house. The kids LOVED climbing on the boxes of presents more than they did tearing off the paper! We are well aware that the novelty of this will wear off by next Christmas :) Both of the kids received wonderful gifts from family members. Clothes, books, puzzles, Elmo and Big Bird stuffed animals, DVD's, a picnic table, a slide/swing combo (my first swingset), shopping cart with veggies...you name it, they most likely were spoiled with it. Thanks to all of the family members who were so generous this Christmas Season! We are very appreciative of everything received! We had a wonderful time visiting with family members and wish everyone a Happy New Year.
