Christmas Eve 2009

Our Family has been gathering at our house for the past 3 years for Christmas Eve.....we LOVE it!!! Everyone starts showing up at our house with presents....there is a ton of YUMMY food...and the evening is filled with the magic of Christmas! We were sad that Uncle Loyd (aka. Ho-ho) was not able to attend this year.....but it IS Christmas Eve....of course he had to work!!! We missed you Ho-Ho!!! Auntie Kaleigh always has "Pretties" on....I can't wait to get my hands on them!!! And...I love to sneak in a Kissy or two! I love My Auntie "Kay-ee"....yep....I can even say her name now!!!

Kiss-Kiss!

Daddy gives me horsey rides on his knee....I especially love it when he sees a snake....that's when things really pick up! I have to hold on tight because when we see a snake.....we go CRAZY!!! I like to tell Daddy "One more time...." then once we get going....I shout out "Snake-Snake".....Our Daddy is a blast....he does all of the fun stuff!

Let the fun begin....time to open presents! Clearly Grandma needs our help....she has no experience opening gifts....good thing we are here!

OOPS....someone is missing a bow off of their gift....apparently I thought I should have it instead!

Take note that I am playing with my trains.....who needs new toys really?

Dancing a little to some Christmas music.....a girls gotta shake a little here and there! Mommy NEVER turns the Christmas music off.....UGGHH.....somebody help her!

SWEET!!....nobody is looking....I am going to pull all of this "crap" off the tree.....they act like they think I am going to leave it alone or something.....DAH!

Christmas Eve is so much fun! Family time is very special and we know we are blessed to have such a loving family to spend time with! Thank you everyone for coming to our house to make it extra special! We LOVE all of you!!!
