Christmas Eve

Shosho is the greatest for organizing our Christmas Eve bingo game! We had a lot of fun playing and opening presents around the table. Thanks to Mom, she is so great!

Uncle Tyler has such a great Bingo voice.

One of the sweetest moments of Christmas was when Addy gave her gift to Ev. She wasn't assigned to give a gift to Ev as part of the cousin swap - she just wanted to! She gave her a Dora magic writer and used her own allowance money to purchase it. Such a tender moment. We can learn a lot from these kids.

Decorating some mini donuts for Santa's elves! Can't forget about them!
Love Will's tongue sticking out!
Yes, my children are the ones eating the icing.
Great helpers, making sure the elves don't go hungry!
Singing some Christmas carols around the piano. At least this makes me play once a year! A little rusty on the keys, but everyone's voices made up for it! We were singing our praises!



Hall grandchildren's first nativity!

The Roberts serenaded us.

Christmas jammies are on and we're getting ready to hit the sack so Santa can come! Merry Christmas!
