Nativity and PJ's

Christmas Eve 2008

Like I said before this year for Christmas we were in Eagar at my in-laws. So on Christmas eve we did the traditional, take the goody plates around to our friends and look at the Christmas lights. This year was way cool because while we were out we saw Santa and his reindeer flying through the air, we could even see the glowing nose leading the way. My kids were dying to get home and get to bed cause they thought Santa was going to pass over our house cause they were still awake. It was a lot of fun. I never seen them so excited! When we got home it wasn't quite time for bed we still had some fun stuff to do. So we started out with getting them all dressed up and they acted out the nativity while Grandpa read it. That was a lot of fun! I did get a little teary eyed seeing my kids play those special roles!

Haydenn had a really cute beanie on that was a little to small so it kept coming off, she looked like a Jew wearing those funny hat things

After our Nativity my kids got to open one gift, this is always a tradition as well.

The anticipation of what it could possibly be. So excited!

PJ's! It is always the same every year, PJ's for Christmas eve, but they still haven't caught on to that yet!

All the kiddos in there new pj's. I would have like the girls to have matching jammies but this year I just took what I could get! And they still look so cute and cozy!

Emmy in her new Christmas jammies!

Ry in her new pj's and boots. She has become attached to these boots. They are irrigation boots that we bought this summer to go camping in and she hasn't taken them off since. As soon as she got on her jammies the boots came on to. What can you do?

I don't know why but I didn't get pics of Haydenn or Tucker in there new jammies, it was kind of a crazy night. After opening there pj's we put the kids to bed they really didn't do to bad, in fact about 30 min after sending them to bed we realized that we forgot to put out cookies and milk for Santa. So all the kids got back up to leave the cookies and milk. I was thinking oh great now they are really going to be wired. But they did really good, they went back to bed no problem and were asleep in no time. It was a fun evening!
