Christmas Eve 2011

 On Christmas Eve, we headed to my parents house to celebrate with our family from Austin.  The kids had such a fun time playing together

Kennedy, Jillian, Jarrett, Cooper, Kaitlyn and Cale

My girlies!

 Trying to get another picture right before opening presents!!  

 Kaitlyn and Kennedy got a Tangled Wii game!!

Jilly got house shoes from Aunt Terri!

 Modeling her shoes

 She also got a bath time Ariel doll!!

 The twins got "rock star" outfits! They loooved these and wore them all day (and wanted to wear them all the next day too!) Thanks Aunt Terri!   (They also got fun house shoes...the more bling the better!)

 All the grandkids made a hand print Christmas tree for my mom and dad. This was my wonderful sister-in -law's idea!!  I have to admit, I was quite nervous watching Jenn paint all of the kids hands with green paint!  Two 5 year olds, one 3 1/2 year old and one 2 1/2 year old with paint on their hands! But, everyone did well, and no one decided to paint the walls!  :)

 Another cute shot of my rock stars :)

 We did our annual Christmas nativity play :) 

Kennedy was the angel this year, Kaitlyn was Mary and Jillian was a shepherd.

 Trying to get a group shot!

Cale was shepherd too, Cooper was Joseph and Jarrett was the narrator!

 After the play was craft time!(Cale and Kennedy)

 Jilly and Kaitlyn

They also got boxes with lots of goodies in them...including these microphones! They were so neat! They had a mode on them where you could make your voice sound like an elf! All 6 kids had one and you can imagine the noise! Fun times!

Tony had to work on Christmas Eve this year....that was no fun. :(  But he was able to join us later that evening to tuck the kids in and help set everything up for the morning!  What a fun Christmas Eve!
