Some Christmas Favorites

Christmas Eve we celebrate with Uncle Mike and his family. We play games and do a gift card exchange. It has been our tradition since we were children to gather on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day we share breakfast and then open stockings and presents. Kyle on Christmas morning - waiting to open presents.
Jake playing pin the nose on the snowman Christmas Eve.
Colton, Uncle Mike and Dad playing "hot bell"!

Colton getting a chuckle during our gift card exchange!
We wrap our gift cards up in a variety of ways - this was Marlin's this year!
Grandma knew Matthew needed this hat for crazy hat days at school! It was in his stocking.

One of the games we played was giving each team a bag of alphabet pasta and 7 minutes to see how many Christmas words they could make - it got intense!

Picking through the pasta!
Carla and the "big" twins - they will be 10 in January. Carla was their first babysitter.
