Christmas Eve!

This year we spent Christmas in Idaho, but don't worry we weren't alone! We had Christmas Eve dinner at the Paramedic Stationhouse, one of our friends is a paramedic and he was on that night so we all joined him and some other friends at the station, and we got lucky and he didn't get called out. We ate lots of yummy food. The kids ran all over the place and had a great time!We told the Christmas story and the kids each got a piece of the nativity so they could all participate. And, of course we opened our new Christmas jammies! Spongebob jammies!! (I swore I would never buy anything with Spongebob on it, but I was weak, and Aspen loves them!!)Nothing is more appropriate for Brylee than Pink jammies with butterflies on them.
This isn't the best picture of them, but we made Santa Seekers (binoculars out of toilet paper rolls and decorated them with wrapping paper and ribbons) the kids used them all night to look for Santa! Our families sent all of our Christmas presents home with us when we were down for Thanksgiving and we kept them outside in the shop until just before bed. And as I knew would happen Porter opened two different presents TWICE!! The girls could not stay away either, they would both find a present with their name on it and come tell me "Mom, there is another one for me!!" Can you tell they were not very happy I made them hold still and take this picture?
