Twas the Night before Christmas...

The cookies were baked, the presents were wrapped,
Now off to Grandmas for some yummy Christmas snacks...

My favorite memories of Christmas Eve:

Giving Mom and Dad their calendar of service for the upcoming year. Lisa's poem was awesome. I am really looking forward to some of those months of service...like March and not so much June :)!

The yummy ham, cranberry salsa, homemade rolls with strawberry butter and Christy's sugared almonds! Delish!

Christmas Bingo to decide the order of opening gifts!

Braden's box inside a box inside a box :)

The loudest version of "It's a pillow... its a pet... Its a Pillow Pet!" I have ever heard! and how excited the kids were when they opened them up.

(P.S. I also loved picking them out with Grandpa at the mall, making deals with the lady at the store and how Grandpa made sure nobody got the same pet.)

Cuponk with the cousins

Tracking down Santa on the Internet...he's in St. George...Now he's in Florida-What?!

Cuddling with Nate on the chair while Lisa vacuumed the entire house-Typical.

Josh singing No-L on the fireplace.

Make up central! Those girls are BEAUTIFUL!
Making melty snowmen with Josh and Emily out of oreos and chocolate.

"make believe stool" your disgusting mom- ha ha ha.

Being with my ENTIRE family on Christmas eve-We're a pretty amazing crew!
