Christmas eve pictures

Hello! Okay, I have only 6 hours before we leave for Colorado! I am so excited and at the same time very nervous. But I don't really want to talk about Colorado, I really want to tell you about Christmas! I had so much fun last night at Grandma Kay's house for our family Christmas eve dinner and exchanging of gifts. This year we did it differently. Instead of adults drawing names and giving giving gifts to all the kids, the kids just drew names, and the adults didn't give gifts. I have some pictures here and I will put on a video, maybe two, but I only have a little time, before I need to start packing again. But here are some pics, I will write about them as I go.



First of all this is the line of gifts we had ready to take to Kay's house last night. A lot!







This is Tate opening a bag of gifts that I got him. If you didn't already know, Tate was the cousin that I drew from the basket. So I got him a coloring book, crayons, and a dinosaur puzzle, that glows in the dark.







This is Drew, when he opened his set of nutcrackers.He received a nice set of sports nutcrackers from his brother Jacob, who was his person. I love the expression on his face. Even though you can barley see it.















This is a picture of Grandma Rie, getting one of her special cookies from her tin of them. She loved all of the cookies. Actually I think my favorite part of this Christmas was Grandma Rie opening all of her presents before it was her turn. I just kept laughing when she would tear the paper down a little then look at Kay to make sure that she didn't see her. And then when she figured out what it was, when she said " Oh, I love this!". I also loved when she said, " I don't know if I should have one of these cookies.", as she is taking one out of the tin and putting it in her mouth.


This is of Grandpa Larry giving Grandma Billye her bag of teats from Stephanie. I love those cookies.
This is a picture of Tate with his dog Wheeler. I got him this big puppy and he is so adorable. Tate was so excited. And the cutest part was at the end of the night when they were going to leave, and Tate took his new blanket and wrapped the puppy up and carried him out. It was very sweet.

This was the best of the Christmas eve pictures. So hope you enjoy them I will put on a video here at the end. Bye.
