Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we celebrated with extended family (just under 50 this year!) on my Mom's side. This year we got together at Uncle Kenny's and the kids had an absolute blast in his basement. They were so content that Creed & I actually got to spend time upstairs socializing- such a nice and relaxing treat. 

Baylee, Caleb, and Caroline took turns playing air hockey. There were some serious games. ;)


Precious Ella! 
Just like on Thanksgiving this year, when she got fussy I took her and she went right to sleep in my arms! 

This little kiddos

After dinner Luke got to pick from the dessert buffet table. He was SO happy that he was singing to himself.

After dinner I checked on Caleb and found him cuddled up on the couch playing games on Emma's phone.

 Before presents, we got a smile from them. You know, the smile and sit still for the picture and then you can open your present.

The "big" kids

After dinner we headed to Aunt Robin's to celebrate with Grandpa's side of the family. We didn't last too long, as the kids were sleepy, but there was still plenty of time to open presents and play with cousins.


I am so glad that we left when we did because on the way home I looked up in the sky and then told the boys, "Look, I see Santa's sleigh." (Creed may or may not have followed that with a You serious, Clark?) But, we all agreed that whatever we were looking at, it sure looked like his sleigh!
