Christmas Eve





On Christmas Eve, our family tradition is to read the Bible story about Jesus' birth, and then everyone gets to open one present each. The boys were pretty pumped about it. Blake opened some Superman walkie talkies (that ended up not working, so back to the store they go.) Luke got a Calcubot. Jakeb got this wooden stacker. (Just look at his face. He was excited.) Jakeb actually tried to take his toy to bed with him. I told him to put it up in his room, and I found it on his bed when it was time to go to bed. And Kaleb actually opened his yesterday when he wasn't supposed too. He got some Little People circus animals. This is a picture of the tree without the flash in the dark. I kinda like it. The other is a picture of our Christmas tree after the boys went to bed, after we put all the toys out and the stockings too.

Anyway, tomorrow should be an exciting day. My brother and his family are going to be in town, so the boys will have their cousins to play with. We will have Christmas in the morning, and in the afternoon-once with us and then with my extended family. We're supposed to have Christmas dinner here too. Eric is going to deep-fry a turkey, and my mom is bringing the ham! Yum!!
