Christmas Eve

Every year on Christmas Eve we head over to Jeremy's parents for our annual Mexican food feast. All of his brothers and sisters (except Aimee, we miss you!) and his grandparents are there. We have a delicious dinner. Everyone brings a Mexican food dish and of course all of Kari's yummy goodies were there. The boys love her Tiger Butter!

After dinner we gathered around to watch the Luke video about the birth of the Savior. Then the boys always look forward to the "fishing pond". Every year Gram gives out a few prizes that the boys have to fish for behind the curtain. The LOVE this game! At the end of the night Aunt Kari gave all of her nieces and nephews new Christmas pajamas. She does this for them every year and they can hardly wait to wear them. Thanks Kari!

We headed out on the long drive home, hoping everyone would fall asleep before we got there. Not a chance! Emma was the only one. Even Eli stayed awake until after we got home, but fell asleep by 10:30. Ethan and Andrew were still awake at 12:30 waiting for Santa to come. They tracked him all day on the Norad Santa tracker and very so excited. Needless to say, Santa came very late that night...
