Christmas Eve 2009

It's the most wonderful time of the year! :) Christmas Eve was amazing, as always with the family. Every year we have a little Christmas Eve dinner get together with everyone in our family! We were lucky this year and got to have EVERYBODY at our house Christmas Eve except for Andelyn wasn't able to be here :( but we got to have her daddy here which was so nice! Everyone got to mom and dads around 8:00PM, we all hung out and ate some goodies, moms traditional smokeys, crackers with cheese balls, veggie trays and of course chocolate and all kinds of soda pop, I'll admit I did horrible with pop during the holiday! After we we all hung out upstairs and snacked for a bit the party got moved to down stairs where all the grandkids got to open their presents from each other. It was so fun watching the kids open their presents from each other and how excited they get about their toys... so so cute! It's the best feeling being with the whole family getting prepared for such a special day to spend together and how excited the kids get about Christmas, Santa and everything else that comes with the spirit of Christmas! After the kids got to open their presents and played with them for a while we called Santa and he was in Missouri which meant he would be in Utah within the next 2 hours so all the kids we anxious to get home and in bed! At the end of the night we even got a special visit from our long lost beautiful cousin Shannon and Leki, we were happy to have them in our home with us Christmas Eve for a little bit! Enjoy the million Christmas Eve pictures! :) we did a good job!
