Christmas Eve and Christmas

Christmas Eve we went to Steve's parent's again. And just like always there was lots of yummy food. I think every time we are over there the only pictures we get are of everyone eating. You'd think that is all we do. Really it is the only time you can get anyone sitting still.





I love this picture of our cute niece Heidi with Ryan.


Jakob, Dallin, and Bryson goofing around.


Every Christmas eve the kids that take piano play us there Christmas recital pieces. This is a picture of everyone while the little concert is going on. Quite funny.


Cute nephews. Waiting to open their presents.



This is the only shot of opening presents. Ryan got a blue McQueen and phone, Jakob got a bionical and transformer, Sara got a mermaid barbie and littlest pet shop. The little kids draw a cousins name and get them a gift. The adults do a $5.00 gift and do the white elephant game.



Steve's mom and dad opening some of their presents.



After all the fun festivities we headed home to open our Christmas pj's. I love doing this with the kids. I just remember wanting to open a present so bad on Christmas eve when I was younger that I told myself I would try and find something for my kids to open. I had heard of people doing the Christmas eve pajamas and I loved the idea. Problem solved.


Christmas morning!!!


Can you tell Jakob loves Lego's?



Sara wanted an American Girl doll so bad this year for Christmas, and she almost didn't get one. Santa thought it was an awful lot of money for a doll. But he gave in. That was the best gift ever. She loves that doll so much. It goes everywhere she does. Church, Idaho, her friends house's. I'm suprised she hasn't asked to take it to school. She already has the doll picked out that she wants for Christmas next year. Oh my.



Yes Ryan is obsessed with the movie Cars. He doesn't watch it as much as he use to. But he sure loves all of the toys that come from it.

Here is his bike all put together. I know he will love it even more when summer comes and he can take it outside.

Sara's doll really is cute, I can see why she loves it so much. Reminds me of me, when I was little.

Oh yeah, I finished the book. Sunday after church, it sure was nice being done by 12:00. haha.

Looks like you had a fun Christmas and Thanksgiving spending time with the Nieders! I love that you take a family picture every year by your tree. It's so cute. Your kids are adorable. I need to make sure we do that too. Ü
