Christmas Eve!

We were lucky this year to have church on Christmas Eve! Getting a picture of 5 kids is super easy these days...that's why I took about 15 of them. Here are 4 of the highlights!










After church outfit change!




I made a 1/4th a batch of sugar cookies, so the kids could make some cookies for Santa! We had so much sugar, that we decided 1/4th a batch would be good!

In the middle of cookie making, we heard a knock on the door from Frosty the Snowman--he brought us our Christmas pajamas! But that sneaky frosty couldn't stick around too long, so we didn't get to see him!






















We ate a quick dinner, read the Nativity Story, and then went for a drive to look at Christmas lights. 3 out of the 5 kids fell asleep, so we decided to cut our light viewing trip short. The kids went right to bed! I guess you can't argue with that Christmas Eve night!

After the kids went to bed, I found this left behind, from Quinn. He loved that chocolate frosting!


"It's a Wonderful Life" and the presents are out...waiting for Santa to come!



Christmas with the Christensens!

My parents and Amy brought Christmas down to our house a couple days before Christmas! They brought presents and goodies and lunch to us--how could you not love that?! But more than that, it was so good to be with them and to have a little Christmas with them.
