We spent Christmas Eve with my family. We had yummy dinner and appetizers (my mom always makes lots of food for Christmas!), played with some toys, and of course opened presents from Grandma and Grandpa!
These kids sure have fun with each other and everyone has fun with all the babies!
Before all the chaos of presents started we tried getting a picture of my parents and all the grandkids....
This was the best outcome...everyone except Ethan is looking. You'd be surprised how many my dad isn't looking at the camera in!
Once again, thank you Google Photos for the special effects!
When it was time to open presents my mom had a plan. Two grandkids at a time got to open their presents...this would hopefully minimize the chaos. She basically gave them each one big box that had all of their presents in it. Clothes, toys, books....the whole deal!
Luke & Ethan were first.
They were getting another present to share....so their boxes were a little smaller.
Kylie and Avery were next.
Avery was really into the ribbons...naturally.
Finally, Baylee and Owen got to go. They were very excited to finally get to open their presents!
Those two are fun to have around because they get so excited!
After everyone got to play with some of their new toys, we packed up and went home.
A tradition from my family that we are keeping for our family is that you get to open a present on Christmas Eve...and that present is always pajamas! :)
No, Avery did not get 4 new pairs of pajamas for Christmas Eve....two of those are for Matt and me!
She did however, get two new pairs...plus the ones from grandpa a few days before.....spoiled girl!
We had worn the poor girl out....it was definitely bed time!
Then it was time to get the cookies ready for Santa and go to bed ourselves!
Santa got the same special treatment our neighbors did....and so did anyone we saw for the next week!
