Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we all met up at my sister Kelli and Matt's house. My brother and his family just moved back to Utah, so this was our first year being all together for Christmas in a LONG time!!! We spent Christmas eve eating and eating and opening presents and eating! We had yummy honey baked ham, shrimp, salsa, salads, and tons of desserts.



Hanging out.



Worn out!



The kids playing with some of their gifts. They definitely got spoiled! Kelli was so cute and had little stockings with lots of toys and candy in them for each of the kids! We had a great time. We spent the afternoon with everyone and then we all split up for our own little family traditions...



One of our traditions is opening all the presents that are under the tree on Christmas Eve. That way we make room for Santa's presents the next morning! So we got right to work opening...



Some of their presents from mom and dad.





Porter got an art easel. It is so cute and he LOVES it!





And Syd got this Barbie vanity. She sits in her room and does her makeup, paints her fingernails, and puts lotion and perfume on!

I love love Christmas Eve! And it makes it so much fun with little kids. The kids also get new pajamas, and a special Christmas book that we read before they go to bed.
