Christmas Eve 2011

This year, Grammy came up to spend Christmas Eve with us.  Unfortunately, Grandpa and Aunt Mariah were not able to come, but we had a fun day celebrating with Grammy. 

Grammy and the boys--Wish this photo wasn't so dark. I was still trying to figure out my new camera.

Kieran loves the trucks from Great Uncle Roy & Great Aunt Lulu.

Our family (Cole wishes everyone "peace" in the new year.)

After Christmas Eve service at church, we enjoyed pizza and watched a Christmas movie, and then we opened up our new ornaments. 


Peace and bunny ears!
Before heading up to bed, the boys put out milk, cookies, and carrots for Santa and his reindeer.  We checked Santa's location one more time, and then read a few Christmas stories.  Caden had a great deal of difficulty falling asleep from all the excitement and anticipation.  It took him nearly two hours to drift into dreamland.  We thought Santa would never get to stop at our house!
