On Christmas Eve, we celebrated with Daddy's side of the family. So, Poppy, Nana, Uncle Blair, Aunt Blip Blip, McKinly, & Easton all came over to our house after we attended our Christmas Eve service at church! We were so excited to have them over and celebrate Christmas again with lots of food, gifts, & playtime!
Our tradition is to get all comfy in our jammies and enjoy the evening together. Here we are with our Poppy & Nana!

After we opened up all our gifts, Poppy & Nana had one more surprise for us...they got each family a individual bounce house!!! We were so excited! So, we blew it up, and each of us got turns bouncing around all our energy...having a blast! What a fun gift!
Then, it was time to get all settled and ready for our traditional movie watching...How the Grinch Stole Christmas! We all love that movie and love the tradition of watching it every Christmas Eve! Poppy & Brecken all snuggled up...
...while Brady & McKinly snuggled up next to Nana...
...& I snuggled up next to Daddy!
What a wonderful night together as a family...sharing Christmas Eve together..the food, the gifts, the laughter, & most importantly, the birth of Jesus!
