Christmas Eve!

And the whole family was back again for Christmas! We have had them here for more holidays than we ever have and it has been so fun! Curtis and Colette stayed in Idaho Falls, but everyone else was here. So we put my dad to work making eggnog shakes (he makes the best shakes ever).

Megan and Kenny were here from Denver. It was great to have them around!

I always have fun finding some decorations!!

The girls loving their dad-that deserves a photo for sure!

Russell is always good to entertain the kiddos-and let the little boys climb on him!

Here we are playing Santa Bingo! Thanks Dana and Russell for bringing it every year! We love our candy bar prizes and the chance for some cash! We are so glad Ann could come after finishing a round of chemotherapy. She brought her mask to not get sick, but I think it got annoying to wear the whole night. We are so glad she felt up to seeing us all! (and we are especially glad we didn't get her sick!)

We also played a little holiday Pictionary!  It turned out pretty good-better markers would have made it great! It was so fun to have Jean, Jane, Ann, Laurie, Reed, Nate, Shanntel, and the Eyrings  join us for the first time for Christmas eve. The Liston's have been coming for several years. We had fun adding to the crowd!

Jean and Jane stayed for a while after the festivities to watch the kids open their Christmas present from them. They got the kids awesome wands from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The kids were so excited to have them. They felt pretty special. Thanks aunties!

And the traditional Christmas Eve present from mom and dad- jammies!! I sure love my cute kids!!
