Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was very mellow, we didn't have to do any last minute errands which was REALLY nice. We just hung out at home and then spent the evening at Grandma Linda's

Kyra and grandma making clam chowder

Bree wanted to start opening presents

Uncle B and Bree.

Prego Chaly and Bree.

Santa "Curt" showed up for a little visit

Papa played christmas songs on his guitar and me and the girls sang our song we had done in sacrament with Kris accompanying us...

The nativity....Kyra was Mary....

Bree was a sheep-I guess........

I love this picture of Mary and Joseph looking at their baby!

Lida passed on her angel role to Adrie-not by choice though.

the girls opened their christmas PJ's and they even got PJ's for their american girl dolls too.

They have been wanting robes for a long time and Kyra LOVES wearing hers now.

Bree, Cam and baby Taubrey.

Adrie and her baby doll.

This was the face Bree kept pulling whenever someone would get a camera out-it was quite funny!

Break it down!

Cute Cousins!

When we got home from my parents the girls got the cookies and milk ready for santa and the carrots for his reindeer and then they got baby Jesus comfortable in his manger that they filled so full of love. It was really cute how excited they were about this little tradition. I am glad we started it!

Then they headed off to bed and Adrie wanted to wear her doll's eye covers so that she wouldn't wake up. While Kris and I were finishing up things Bree decided that she wasn't done being sick and she threw up again-EVERYWHERE so we had to put the Christmas preparations on hold and do major cleanup. By the time we got everything cleaned up and then finished wrapping and such, it was about 1:00 and well time for bed!
