Christmas Eve 2012

On Christmas Eve, Paul and I both worked.  Paul got out at 1130 and took the kids home.  I got out at one and was able to get home while the kids were napping.  We all got around and headed to the 5 o'clock service at church.  They must have been behind schedule(there were 4 services) because it didn't start until 520.  

The kids got a little antsy in the lobby. (Colin was a little grumpy)

Happier!

They liked the reindeer decor

After church, we headed over to Tara's for dinner and to decorate cookies.  It was fun to do this all together with a bunch of people.  

Audrey LOVES to paint and that includes "painting" cookies


Everyone busy at work




The finished product

We're continuing on the Christmas eve tradition of opening a pair of pajamas.  I decided to add in a Christmas book also.  I was able to get them to smile for nice pictures when I was bribing them with their presents.  


Presents!


I tried to get a pic with the kids but it didn't go very well.

We're not very photogenic

After the kids went to bed and Santa came....(and grandma, and grandpa, and mimi, and papa, and Aunt Jen, and Aunt Tina, and Uncle Adam).  The tree fills up quickly when the gifts from EVERYONE are under it.
