Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with my family this year. It was a little hard to coordinate everyone's schedule, but I guess that's just what happens when the kids grow up. We played a rousing rendition of "Apples to Apples" (that game is so much fun!) and then had dinner and present time. Charlotte was SO good and SO patient. She had been waiting ALL day to open some presents, so I was really impressed with how well she could control herself!

The tree at my parents house:



We can always count on Aunt Jenna to get down on the floor!


One of Charlotte's favorite gifts.....a harmonica from Aunt Jenna!


Grandma and Grandpa got Charlotte a V-Reader. She said "Look, mommy! I got my own Nook!"


Pillow fight!

After we got home and put Charlotte to bed, we were able to get some pictures of Santa's gifts under the tree:


A marble racer! Santa's elves sure worked hard on putting this one together!


Stand and play car ramp. Another favorite.


That Santa sure is creative! He put a HULA HOOP IN OUR TREE!


Can't wait to see an excited little girl in the morning!
