On Christmas Eve, we celebrated with Grandma, Grandpa, Brad, Steph, and the boys!

Grandma made a super yummy dinner!!! After we filled our tummies, it was time to exchange gifts.

Carter received a super cool Batman Lego set and some ninja turtle stuff!

Carter and Charlie were so excited about their new superhero toys!!!

Grace giving (and explaining) her gift to Tripp.

Grace was so excited about her new Barbie makeup kit and Anna and Elsa Animator's dolls!!!

She was so surprised that she got those dolls! She saw them at the Disney store and never even dreamed that they could be her very own.

Excited!!!

The boys got busy building with their new Legos!

John was loving his gifts too...lots of basketball games are in his future!!!

We always enjoy spending Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa's!!!

...on Christmas eve.

we made Christmas cookies

and a birthday cake for Jesus!

On Christmas Eve Eve, we went to the candlelight Christmas service. It's such a neat service and we always enjoy going.

And, we survived it with this guy! We didn't catch the church on fire or spill the grape juice. It was definitely a Christmas miracle!!!

After church, we changed into our pjs, grabbed a yummy caramel apple spice, and looked at Christmas lights.

We saw lots of pretty light displays and even some synchronized to music, but our favs are the wacky tacky ones!!!

2 more sleeps!!!

Carter has been super obsessed with Rudolph this Christmas season. So, we had a little reindeer family fun night!

We created a couple of reindeer art projects.

Then, we made some yummy reindeer cookies!

You can't have a reindeer party without reindeer games. Right?

Our family fun night concluded with snuggles and watching Rudolph!!!
