Christmas Eve

So every year Jason and I spend Christmas Eve with his family. Usually his Aunt Sandy does a huge dinner at her house but this year his Aunt Colleen offered to do it at her house. Colleen did a wonderful Prime Rib dinner with all the fixins. It was wonderful. After dinner the kids all anxiously awaited the arrival of Santa. The use to hire a Santa to come but last year Nana decided to just purchase the Santa costume and then his cousin's husband Rhett dresses up and brings gifts to all the kids. Along with the gifts he brings candy canes in his hat. After each child sits on his lap they pick a candy cane out and if it is broke then you have been naughty that year. Well as the kids went up they were all getting ones that were not broke. Then our little Kennidee went up. She was so scared and we finally convinced her to sit on his lap. When she pulled out her candy cane it was broke. Her reaction was priceless. I wish I would have had a video camera. It was so funny. All the kids got their presents and then after they got to open them and were so excited. After Santa left we played the traditional game of White Elephant Bingo. We left with all sorts of interesting things this year. Hope the family enjoys the gifts that Jason brought. After we left we headed home and the kids were so excited to jump into bed so that Santa could come.

Me with the kids at the party. Aren't they the cutest ever?


Here are each of the kids on Santa's Lap. Kyson still does not like Santa



This Jason's cousins little girl. While we were singing for Santa to come she was totally dancing. She is such a cutie and has such a fun little personality that I had to take a picture of her.

Here are picture of the kids with their presents from Santa. Kyson had so much fun opening his that I took quite a few pictures so he has a collage. Be sure to notice those big brown eyes that I love so much. LOL
