Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we had a nice dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Anson's with lots of family. After we came home (along with the Kirks), we opened one gift (Christmas P.J.'s), got ready for bed, and read a Christmas story. Typically while we read a Christmas story the boys hear bells outside! A good sign that Santa has stopped at our house! So, they go bolting upstairs to see what he has brought for them. Little D wasn't able to stay up so he found his things in the morning. It works out well for Mom and Dad too because we are not woken up at 4 am with excited children.

Is that Kara in the background? Is that her kid?

That is a fun way to do it! They all look like they are loving it.

Yes, that is Kara and her boy. They love our tradition, and wanted Al to be part of it again this year. But, he was so tired he didn't seem too excited about it.
