Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve Day was a little busier than usual, but lots of fun. We started out at Grandma & Grandpa West's home since we had spent the night. At about 10:30 am we let the boys go wake up Uncles Mo & Tay and Aunt Dawna so we could exchange presents. We got some wonderful gifts, Caden got his very own child-proof digital camer, Brecken got a tube for sledding, and we got a whole bunch of food storage (thank you soo much!).

Then we headed out to the airport to pick up Nana & Grandpa Steve who flew in from Oregon to spend Christmas with us. After several loops around the airport we found them and piled in to head to a party at my Aunt Mel's. It was fun seeing all of my relatives that we hadn't seen in a while.

We finally made it home to our own house at about 6pm. We ate a small "Bethlehem Supper" (cheese, crackers, meat, and fruit). Then began our Christmas Eve festivities. The boys get to open two presents. First they opened their pajamas- lighting McQueen of course (daddy picked them out). Next they got a new ornament to put on the tree.

Here is Brecken trying on his stocking, silly boy didn't know you don't where these ones:

Here they are in their cute matching McQueen pajammies:

Here is the fam with our new ornaments. Dad's is a utah jazz ornament, mine is a pink baby rattle in celebration of our having a baby girl in a few more months, the boys got balls filled with candy:

Nana and Grandpa enjoyed the show, and the boys did put on a good show. They were pretty excited:

After ornaments it was time for the nativity story. Caden helped daddy put it on in puppet format. They are wearing shepherds headbands:


Brecken was a great audience, he only got up a few times to come check out the puppets and hold up the star:



I thought this video was cute. Oh the excitment:
