We spent Christmas Eve with Granna/Granstan since Uncle Jon had to work on Christmas Day. We started with some family pictures and then opened presents.
The girls were thrilled with their dolls and got even more excited when they got outfits that matched their dolls.
Lily didn't put her doll, pink chickie, and Big Bird down all night. She was in Christmas heaven!
Granna surprised Granstan with a Bowie knife- something he has wanted for a long time.

We went to the Christmas Eve service at church and then had yummy fajitas for dinner. After dinner, the kids performed their annual Christmas story play with Granna. By default, Parker was Joseph again this year. Aubrey volunteered to be Mary (because she wanted to wear the pretty dress!) and did a great job. Addison and Eden were the angels and Lily chose to be a sheep this year! They all performed their parts perfectly and without any tears- what a difference a year makes!
After the performance, we played several Minute to Win It games. First up was the marshmallow toss where I beat Cory for the 2nd year in a row. (But who's keeping track!).
Next was the ping pong ball shake where we had to shake 10 ping pong balls out of a box that was tied around our waist. All of the kids loved this game- even Lily and Ryan!
Our last game of the evening was Pin the Nose on Santa.
After a few more silly pictures, it was time to head home and get ready for bed. We had a great day with my family and couldn't wait to get ready for Santa to come.
