Christmas Eve!

We spent Christmas Eve with my family at my sister and brother-n-law's home in Allen. It's nice that both of our families live close and we can see most of them around the holidays.
We were comfy cozy in our pj's and so the kids wore their matching snowman pajamas. They looked so cute! It's not too often that they get to match!



These shoes came from Aunt Jenni and Kate wanted to put them on right away. Somehow Joel managed to get both on over her footy pajamas. She was so excited and starting running around.
Showing Mommy her new shoes!
Grant and Kate playing with Kate's new kitchen she got from Aunt Jenni and Uncle Shawn. They are wearing their cute aprons from Daniel and Christina.

After dinner the kids went to bed and the rest of us played games. It was a lot of fun and I don't think we left until after 11pm. Some of my best memories from growing up are from Christmastime, and Christmas with my family is always special. It was a great day and I'm so thankful for them and for the love they show to us and the kids.
