Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a exciting day for us as we all received some great gifts and were able to see both sides of our families! We started off the day at our house with the Christmas story and a couple of gifts to open from each other including new ornaments for TJ and Andi and new jammies for everyone!

We headed to my and mom and dad's for lunch and then to Grandpa G's house for supper. Along the way we got to eat waaayy to much food, learn that Gina can keep a secret! (Congrats to the preggo parents), make cookies and spend lots of quality time with our cousins!

Andi and TJ opening their new jammies...this might be the only time that TJ actually sat still while we were trying to open presents.

TJ "saying" yeah and wearing his new "scarf" aka his new pajama bottoms.

Andi hanging her new precious moment ornament on the tree.

After the presents were opened we were trying quickly to load everything up for the day to head North but Andi and Sydni were super tired and we found them downstairs in the recliner all covered up as we were taking the 1st load down.

Andi and Luke

Luke or Lukey-Dukey is Andi's latest favorite sidekick...I am not sure Luke got a moment to himself but I don't think it bothers him too much ;)

I think that everyone had a very fun filled Christmas Eve. We left Grandpa G's house after 10 and figured both kids would crash. TJ didn't disappoint but Andi jabbered the whole way home and then laid in her bed without falling asleep for another 30 minutes!

setting the oh so important carrots out for Santa's reindeer! We bought these special even though Travis tried to convince us that we could just leave marshmallows for the reindeer instead!
