Christmas Eve

We just spent the day together as a family. We cleaned the house and wrapped a few last minute things we needed. This picture is where we were playing Master Chef Jr. :) The kids were all preparing their dishes for Kenny and I to sample and judge whose was the best. It was pretty funny what they came up with. For example, toast with olive oil and ketchup. or a sandwich inside a cupcake haha.

That night we had a lasagna and garlic bread dinner. We read the story of Christ's birth from the scriptures, but didn't act it out since we'd already done it twice. We opened the traditional Christmas pajamas gift. They were so excited for Santa to come there was absolutely no fighting at bedtime, no one complained about going to bed (early even!). It was awesome :).

Above: Briggs was asleep. Below; he had woken up so we took another shot :)

 Then we stayed up getting Christmas ready. Above you can see the tent we made, and below is the balance beam Kenny made. I was happy with both of those fun things. This was our first year wrapping Santa gifts and I have to say, it's a pain in the bum but I like it a lot!
