Christmas Eve 2010

We went my parent's house for Christmas Eve day to have a big breakfast and to get together with family from Austin.

 All the kids (minus Jillian) eating a yummy breakfast!

 My cousin, Aaron and his son, Cale

 My Aunt Terri and cousin, Jarrett

 Jillian got the hang of tearing the paper off pretty fast, but she got about this far and gave up!

 The twins got cute little backpacks with little animals in them from Aunt Terri! 

They were a hit! (Kaitlyn)

 We did out annual Christmas "play".   Kennedy was Mary (holding baby Jesus), Kaitlyn was the angel, Cale was Joseph, Cooper and Jillian were shepherds and Jarrett was the narrator.  It always makes us laugh to see how this turns out with so many little ones.

 My mom had a cute Christmas craft for all the kids to do too!

Jillian was a little bit too young to do a Christmas craft, so she was happy coloring a picture of Cookie Monster.

Later that evening at home, we read Luke 2 and let the girls put together the Fisher Price Little People nativity that I had gotten earlier this month. They loved arranging all the people and it was a nice visual for them as we read the Bible. We sang some Christmas songs, put out cookies for Santa and got them in bed!  We are excited for tomorrow!
