We celebrated Christmas Eve at our house with Quinn's family.

We:

DECORATED COOKIES

All the kids decorated cookies for Santa

OPENED JAMMIES

Peyton and Caleb in their jammies

I bought Caleb different ones and when he opened them he asked "if he could go put on last years jammies." I guess he didn't like his new ones:)

All the cousins (minus 4) in their new jammies

LOOKED AT CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

We then all 15 of us, yes 15 loaded up into Quinn's Dads 15 passenger work van and drove around and looked at Christmas lights.

I made all the kids Polar Express tickets with a jingle bell and some popcorn.

GAVE THOSE 8 REINDEER SOME FOOD

Then we got home just in time to go sprinkle reindeer food all over our yard.

PARTY TIME!!

We had a little Christmas Party with the George's this year. We headed up to their house and had a yummy dinner. Then we exchanged presents, then we went and helped a family in need before the Holidays. It was truly one of the coolest experiences I have had and I know it really opened my kids eyes on how lucky they truly are, these kids were only asking for food!! We hid out forever making sure they got everything and as we were driving away Caleb said "I feel all warm inside" that sums up are night. Thanks to Ben and Laurie helping out and I can't wait to help another family in need next year!!

All waiting to open their presents

Caleb opening his present

Peyton opening hers

We gave this sweet get up to Ben for his gift. No joke we walked around Cabela's one day for like an hour just searching for the "perfect" gift for Ben. I know if he didn't like it the kids certainly did. Chase pretty much claimed it as his.

HIDING OUT

We wanted to see their faces when they opened the door so we hid across the street behind some garbage cans.

ZOO LIGHTS!!

We went to Brick Oven Pizza and then headed up to the Zoo Lights with Ben and Laurie and the kiddos, of course. This was the first time going to the lights they were fun but it was sooo stinking cold the night we went so of course we were trying to hurry through them.

The gang, so excited to get one last picture before we left!!
