It just wouldn't be Christmas Eve without a trip to Solomon for Joy and Papa's Christmas Eve celebration complete with Mexican food, white elephant, Santa, and the Nativity performed by the cousins. Reagan was thrilled to be Mary this year and hold baby James (which made me super nervous but she did a great job!) Travis was excited to be a shepard with the rest of the boys. Aren't they a cute little group!?
Reagan, Evan, and James
It was almost a chatastrophie because Santa couldn't find Reagan and Travis's gifts, but he came through in the end!
So cute!
Christmas Eve day was spent with my family. We ate tons of yummy food and just hung out.
Travis enjoyed torturing Grandma with his toys!
Grandma Mayrice enjoyed the festivities with us.
So precious!
Getting everyone to smile on cue was near impossible--this was the best we could do.
Travis had fun being silly!
"Santa says Ho Ho Ho!!!!"
Kaela just hanging out...
Our two Christmas cuties...
Cute cousins...Christmas morning, Reagan and Travis found Santa hadn't forgotten them! They woke up to find lots of fun treasures...the most important being Reagan's fancy DS and Travis's twister ride. They both were thrilled to get what they asked for. I love to see their excited little faces and their laughter! My family was there to join in on the chaos and open gifts together.
"Check it out!"
Reagan got Kit from Mom and Dad. "She looks like me!"
Travis loved tearing into all the presents!
Cheese! "I love this book!" Travis said!
Reagan loves to help hand out the gifts.
Opening her suitcase from Grandma and Grandad...
Travis loves his fire and police station from Mommy and Daddy.
It works great...especially on the wood floors! Good thing we have plenty of open space!
Travis was excited to get a "frog computer like Reagan's". He is loving playing cars on it!

We spent the afternoon at the Larsons playing with cousins and enjoying some relaxing time. The kids loved every minute of it!
Christmas is fun....we are grateful for gifts but are so very thankful for the season's true meaning...the birth of our Saviour. I love to hear the kids talk about what Christmas is all about...sometimes I think they really get it! If only Christmas lasted all year long!
