Christmas Eve

This year Christmas Eve was at our house. We always have dinner and then do some traditional activities.

Uncle Bill just got to our house from being at his home in Pinedale so he brought the kids an ice chest full of real snow. They were in heaven!

Me and my siblings danced for our family to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Mambo. We tried to be as dorky as possible and I think it worked.

kids waiting for their Christmas jammies from grandma. This year they were super cute because she put their names on each one. They all loved them!

All the kids waiting for Santa. Santa swings by for a quick visit and brings each kids a small gift. The adults do a gag gift exchange at the end of the night so we started this a few years back so the kids got something small. Half the kids know its Aaron but they don't care. They still get super excited when he comes through that door. And some kids who are even older still think its really Santa.
