Christmas Eve

We had such a fabulous Christmas!!! We started out Christmas Eve Morning with our traditional breakfast with My Grandma Bowden and my family. Then being the unorganized person I am, we spent the afternoon out doing some last minute shopping and delivering gifts. That night we went to the Millers for a yummy dinner and a fun game of Bunco. The kids always get to open their Christmas pj's and have fun tracking Santa on the computer. It is so fun to have little ones at Christmas. They make everything so magical!!!


When we got back home our kids exchanged gifts with each other. They have a Santa workshop at their school and the kids earn money and get to shop by themselves for each other. Emilee gave Lucy these Shrek ears... cute! Another favorite was a Jazz ball Max bought for his sisters to share. (He was hoping that he might get to use it if they didn't like it.)
Then the highlight of Christmas Eve was Max finally lost one of his front teeth. They were crisscrossed and were driving us all nuts. But he wouldn't let us touch them. Jason and Max were throwing the football that afternoon and I told Jason to aim at his mouth. It wasn't one minute later that the ball bounced up at hit him right in the tooth. It loosened it up just enough that Jason was finally able to pull it. So we didn't just have Santa visit that night... the tooth fairy made it to our house too. You should have heard him sing "I'll I want for Christmas is my one front tooth."

One of the highlights of this Christmas has been going to ride the Polar Express. A big Thank You to the Anderson Family for sharing this magical night with all of us! This is Em & Lucy sitting on Santas lap at the North Pole.
