Christmas Eve

I love Christmas Eve - it's my favorite night.....We have so many traditions to squeeze into only a few hours.

Candelight Church Service
Dinner with the family at Houston's Restaurant
Decorating Cookies for Santa
Sprinkling reindeer food out front in the yard
Opening up one present - new jammies for Christmas morning
Daddy reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas...

The kids are so exhausted that they don't fight to go to bed! YEAH!!!!

Christmas with the Gould's

The second round of Christmas fun was with Matt's Dad. They had it at their neighborhood clubhouse. It was so cold that day that all the kids had to play inside. Their was a pool table, Guitar Hero, playstation, and plenty of food to serve an army. The kids had a great time with their cousins, Nana Pam, K-KPa, Mimi, Aunt Kristin, Uncle Michael, Aunt April, and Uncle Barry!

Braeden got all new catching gear for baseball and a Dick's Sporting Goods gift card. Grant got a Star Wars Motor Bike and a piano, and Bryce of course got Legos and a Star Wars Nerf Shooter!!!

Great Grandma Mimi was so excited to see the kids. The little ones had fun pushing her walker all around.

It was funny how the younger cousins played together (Grace, Kate Morgan, and Grant) while the older ones played pool and had a Guitar Hero Rock Off!!!

Christmas with the Dingler's

We started out the holidays with celebrating Christmas with Matt's family. We hosted this year's festivities. Matt cooked a delicious tenderloin and his mom and brother brought all the yummy sides and desserts. It was a fun night!

One of our family traditions is decorating Gingerbread Cookies! The kids had a fun time putting on all the sprinkles and frosting. Grant kept giving the cookies kisses.

Grammy and Tompa with all the grandkids!

Thanks Aunt Kristin, Uncle Michael, Gabriel, Grace, Tompa, and Grammy
