Christmas Eve

To say that we were all excited about a white Christmas Eve would be an understatement! When I found out that snow was on the way I immediately told Olivia who was ecstatic! As soon as there was enough on the ground she and Denny headed out to play!




They started with a race to get warm!

Then moved on to a snowball fight!






That evening we went to our church's Christmas Eve service and then to dinner. It was our second time to have both children with us during an hour long service. And the 2nd time went about as well as the first! Needless to say Denny spent more than half of the service in the foyer with Jack! He is infamous for dropping "all done's" and "uh-oh's" in the middle of the quiet part of the service, like prayers or the sermon!


Our handsome bubby all dolled up!

And our beautiful girl equally glamorous!

Bumpa, Gigi, Nicole and Uncle Ryan

Uncle Alex showing Olivia how to hold her candle.

Jack does not like to be contained.

So, crawling the aisle of chairs he went!

Sadly this is the only picture I have from dinner at Jin-beh. Jack eating a banana a la chopstick and wincing at the large flame on the grill!

After dinner we very slowly headed home, the roads were pretty bad! Once we got there we let the kids open one gift... pajamas of course!


An attempt at a family photo, we'll try again next year!

And an attempt at a picture of both kids, better than the one above at least!





Olivia looking at Santa's radar with Ryan and Nicole!

And possibly the best part of the evening...

What Christmas Eve would be complete without a streaker???
He went through the quad... to the gymnasium!


I was in such a hurry to get the kids down I missed out on taking pictures of them together in their pj's AND putting out the milk and cookies for Santa! Boo! Denny had to spread the reindeer food since it was like 30 below zero, but don't worry, it was there!


Hopefully in my next post I will finally have Christmas all wrapped up with a pretty little bow on it!
