First Family Christmas Eve

For as long as I can remember Christmas Eve has always been spent with my extended family. Our family has grown too big and for the last 2 years we've done our own thing. Last year we were with Jason's family so this year was the first year we ever had our own Christmas Eve party with just my immediate family.

After eating and while watching a movie the kids decorated a GIGANTIC sugar cookie for Santa.

I was imagining Santa's inevitable stomachache as Aidan and Alex poured on the sprinkles.

Next they each got to open a present (they all got the same thing a mini nerf gun).

Then they got their Christmas Eve jammies and once they were on Aunt Jenny and Grandpa Jerry each read the kids a story.

(Note how Jonah has the Nintendo DS the whole time.)
It was so fun to be all together!

Those cookies are HUGE!! It's a wonder Santa didn't get a heart attack :) I think it's so funny how many people have the tradition of getting pajamas on Christmas Eve. So Fun!

It looks like you'll never get that DS away from him. :)

FUN! I totally love the big family but it is always fun having a more intimate small group sometimes. The boys are getting big and cute as ever. You guys coming down here anytime soon?
