Christmas Eve

We started our day off at Grandma Ruthies.  She has the prettiest Christmas display in her front room.

We love her so much and enjoy time we get to spend visiting with her.   Thank you for the Christmas money!  We will spend it doing something fun together as a family!
I must say Grammy and Papa are the king and queen of spoiling their grandkids ROTTEN!  This picture was taken in three waves and it's too bad the last one when all the kids were finally there was the worst!  Still a cute bunch of kids! 

The boys got to open a present on Christmas Eve this year from Papa and Grammy.  Both were things they love!  You  never know what kind of face you'll get from a four year old in a picture!



The Erks always have a gift that represents something funny/significant that happened to each adult in the past year.  I got a baby girl banner and McKay got a box full of cowboy things.  He's becoming more in touch with his cowboy side and everyone can't stop talking about it!

Wendi also joined in on the fun and gave Canyon a bag of dog treats to clean his teeth :)  She isn't so fond of dogs and would rather Canyon stay farther away than closer.  Not too far off from how I am with dogs, but I'm learning :)  So she had to tease McKay and show her love for the dog.



Our white elephant exchange was quite eventful this year.  Kimball decided to wrap up a LIVE MOUSE!  YUCK!  Very luckily Dan opened it so it didn't cause too much harm.  None of the girls were too amused.  Chayce on the other hand...




The boys got their cute Christmas jammies.  They were perfect!  We had a great time at the Erks and love them all so much!


To finish off the night we had our annual dinner with the Neigs at Outback.  It was delicious!  My parents are so generous to take us out!  Racheal joined us for the first time this year which was fun...we missed Chels who was flying.


Ended up at my parents playing a rousing game of Aggravation (boys won...boo) before heading home to put the kids to bed and wait for Santa to come.
