Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we went over to my in-laws for our tradition get-together.....the big Christmas dinner, the grandkids acting out the nativity, and the gift exchange. The food was delicious, the nativity was funny and cute (is that inappropriate to say?), and the gift exchange was well....gifty! It was a very fun night. Lisa and Kyle weren't able to join us because they were both at home with the same bug that's been visiting the rest of us. Matthew actually had it too, but he toughed it out because it was the big get-together and it was his family.

Keely and Reece were actually sick as well. They had strep and had been on antibiotics, but they wore masks just in case. So our Mary and Joseph looked as if they were deathly ill and had SARS or something. It was pretty funny!

September got to be an angel this time.

Kya and Logan got to be a wisegirl and a wiseguy....

All the kids got toys they just loved. Logan got a Cars book and magna-doodle combo thing. September and Kya each got a Hannah Montana item. And Peyton got a set of noisy instruments!!

Here's my nephew, Khalil (aka Chanchito!). He's exactly six months younger than Peyton, but he's about an inch taller and plenty of pounds heavier. He wanted to take a ride in the back of the dumptruck we got Cohen. Isn't he cute?!

Plus my in-laws got all of the kids some new adorable pj's! It was nice because we were able to pretty much take the kids home and put them to bed. Well, after we gave them some special "sleepy" hot chocolate!
