Merry Christmas eve...

This year Ben and I got to play host for the Christmas eve dinner we share each year with my Dad and Ami!

It turned out so good, Ben did all the cooking.
We ate, talked and had a good time making memories together.

Not having to load up all the kids and take them somewhere made it that much easier to do. We would way rather cook then do all that any day!

The kids had a blast getting some great new things from the Grandpa Duane and Grandma Ami! They also got great stuff from Chi-chi and wo-wo!
Thanks everyone so much...

This was Bayleigh's first gift to open and she had a blast. She just wasn't sure had to get the toys out of the box! So when in doubt, climb on top of the box and bounce on it till you get someones attention to open for you.

Here's the kids getting right down to business

Daddy and Chelsey

Grandma Ami brought these super cute reindeer antlers and so of course that meant it was time for pictures of everyone who would wear them.

Say "Cheese"

and again

and again
(This actually took a few time to get of Bayleigh, she kept taking them off)

Sister and brother in-law
The whole group of kids all wearing their special Christmas P.J.'s.
You can't see the boys pants but they were really cute, black fleece with cross bones wearing Santa hats...
