Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve today at our house with my Mom and Dad.  We got hit once again with a snowfall, as we have the past few Christmas Eves.  Today's snowfall produced about 3-4" here, so did not cause travel problems as our last Christmas did!!!  The boys were SO excited, especially Ryan.  It was painful for him to wait, and we found that you didn't wonder whether he liked your gift - he was very vocal and honest about every one.  Gotta love a kid's honesty!  Carter woke up under the weather - poor kid has had a bad run of colds lately - he hasn't really gotten rid of it in the past month or so.  Kyle is also sick, on top of strep, woke up with croup today.  (healthy bunch!)  Kyle is so patient opening gifts, making sure everyone takes their turn - the kids aren't quite that patient yet!!!  After gift opening, Evan made his famous shrimp pasta dish, which the adults all enjoyed - the kids, not so much.  Oh, well, you can't win them all!  Overall, we had a great Christmas together.  Looking forward to celebrating with extended family tomorrow!

Can you feel the love?  We were not going to exchange gifts this year, so he didn't expect to receive anything, but I picked up the Keurig coffee maker he wanted:


Uggs for me - I've wanted them for a few years, so I was very excited to get a pair!




Kyle lucked out with Visa gift cards this year - he is saving for a new bow, so these will come in handy for that!
