Christmas Eve!!!

We had a fantastic Christmas Eve, like always. It's one of our favorite days of the year.
Ready with their Christmas Eve presents.

Kenzie made Doug and I these adorable ornaments.

Harry Potter jammies!

Coleman opened the last Harry Potter advent and the kids traded characters.

Kenzie and Coleman made up a cute dance that they performed for us.

The kids made this for Santa.

We went to my parents around lunchtime. We had to wait a couple hours for the Crabtree's to get there so we could open presents.




Kenzie got some Harry Potter things from the Crabtree's.

Harry Potter Legos from Grandma and Grandpa.

Dungeons and Dragons shirt from the Crabtrees.

Harry Potter Puzzle from the Crabtree's.

A Pokemon playmat from Grandma and Grandpa.

Harry Potter scarf and hat from Grandma and Grandpa for Kenzie and Harry Potter Code Names from them for Jordan. (The Crabtree's also gave us one as a family gift. Such a perfect gift for us!)

Harry Potter Codes Names!

Jordan and Doug worked on the puzzle for a bit. It's a puzzle of the grandkids that Ashlee's girls gave her.

PiƱata time:
Cam

Coleman

Coleman again



Kenzie

Jordan decided to just kick and punch it this year. It was pretty funny!

Jackson

Alli

She hit it open!

Grandpa duck taped it back up so Sam could have a turn.

Kenzie was happy to get all the letters in Snickers.

Then we had our Christmas performances. All the kids (besides Kimber) played a song on the piano.






Kenzie and Cam performed a fun dance that Alli, with some help from Sam, choreographed for them. They've been working on it for about 6 weeks. All their hard work paid off! They did a great job!


We read the Christmas story and sang songs. It got a bit loud and crazy by the end!

Singing is not Jackson's favorite part of Christmas Eve:)

Jack and Kenzie playing together.

We got home around 10:30 and the kids all slept in Coleman's room, excited for Christmas!

Snow

It snowed for a bit last week. It was pretty exciting :)

 

Gingerbread Houses

We decorated gingerbread houses at Ashlee's house on the 23rd.
Kimber came home from Boise that morning so she was able to do it with us. Sam's friend Jordyn was there too.
