Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we celebrated Christmas with Brian's side of the family. It was a beautiful snowy day--I think we ended up with 8 inches!! :) That took Brian some time to clear--Santa didn't bring a snowblower this year, either, so it's a time consuming, exhausting thing to clear all that. Later that day, we had some time of presents and family time. Growing up, my family always opened presents from each other on Christmas Eve and saved the bulk of presents (from Santa, of course) for Christmas Day so I kind of copy that. :)

All the kids, ready to go!!

My 1st Christmas!

Trying to wait patiently...

This is what Nathan was doing most the day...he had been sick with a cold and just passed out after lunch. He slept about 3 hours, I think.

Getting into present opening with Carley and Brian.

These are the pajamas Nathan received at our house on Christmas Eve. How cute is he??

The other 3 kids got robes and slippers and they were so excited. Hunter had been asking for a robe like Anden (his cousin) and some new slippers since his others had gotten too small.

We also opened a couple Wii games so we had fun playing those before bedtime!
