Our Christmas Eve starts out at Shawn and Jenise's house. We have ham & cheesy potatoes. She always makes homemade rolls, and the best cheeseball!! Then the kids make cookies for Santa.
Just before this picture was taken, Brityn said, "Mom, if you want a fabulous picture of me, here's your chance."
Got a new tree this year. She's a tall drink 'a water. We couldn't even get the star on top of that baby. Kevin was tippy toeing across the top of the ladder (you know, on the little 3x4 last step that you're never supposed to step up onto??) and still couldn't reach. She's pre-lit though! And beautiful! We got her, no one thought to let us know it came in TWO boxes. After a half hour of trying to figure out how those two little limbs in the first box were going to spring up into a 12 ft tree, we scoured every inch of the box. That is when we discovered the very helpful phrase: 1of 2. We ran back to the store, 5 min after closing, snuck in the out door, which prompted a manager looking lady to loudly ask if the doors had been locked. We assured her we were not here to grocery shop and keep them all for another hour, we were just here to pick up the second half of our tree. She looked confused. I felt like saying, "You think YOU'RE confused!!"
These are our three lovies!!
This is us. I'm slightly irritated that my hair is the same color as the "husky" legs I have around my neck. Still working my way back to good after a BAD hair cut-n-color.
This is when we almost had a close call as Kevin tried to sweep me off my feet.
This is us laughing about how close the call was.
Cookies for Santa.
Then Kev read out of Luke, as Brit and Corb "acted" it out. Boston was a non-participator. I will post videos soon. I'm not sure if this one loaded properly. This is 1 of 2 ;)
Then we opened Christmas Eve presents: PJ's
Brityn asked me why her PJ's didn't match the boys'. I asked her if she wanted Alpine Skiing pajamas. She said, "YES!!" I guess I will know for next time.

I chuckled out loud when I watched the video! Is that...Teddy could it be? Is she smelling it?
There are severl funny things I love about your Christmas Eve viedo. I love that Corbin starts shaking his head..makes me wonder what he was thinking..I can't believe I'm doing this, or why isn't Boston participating, or maybe Brityn didn't do exactly what he thought she should do as Mary--several possibilities. I love how he runs his hand through his hair like dad does when he's annoyed/frustrated. But I think most of all I love how Brityn very gently sets baby Jesus (a.k.a teddy bear) down and then can't resist picking him back up to "tap and smell". Love it all!!!
