Christmas Eve

 Christmas Eve was a little different for us this year. We usually have a candle light service at church on Christmas Eve but since Christmas was on Sunday this year we held our service on Christmas Day. That left Christmas Eve free for us and lots of fun time to hang out at Granny and Paw's house. We got over to their house around lunch time and ate Chinese for lunch. Then all the kids laid down to get some rest before all the fun and excitement hit that night (and the next day too).
We had a wonderful dinner and dessert and then it was time for presents.

 Here is one of my little presents this year! I took this a few weeks before Christmas but thought I would throw it in the post for fun.

Rascal and Baby A

These two are pals. She thinks the world of Rascal and he loves her so much it really hurts (his exact words!). It neat to watch them together because you can see the bond they are forming already. 

 Me and my girl!

 My sweet girl in her Christmas pants and pigtails. 

 Baby A really got into opening gifts this year.She didn't care who they belonged to...she would just rip into them. After they were all opened she would go back and start emptying the bags again.

 Scooter got lots of things he asked for including this Bakugan battle arena from Aunt Peggy and Uncle Michael. Not sure what on earth it is but he does and he loves it. It was one of the things he pinned on Pintrest. See good things come from pintrest!

 We gave Tim's parents a canvas with the kids picture on it. It is the same picture that is at the top of my blog. Needless to say they loved it.

 Scooter has discovered te game Fruit Nijas on our phones and he LOVES it. 

He sat around and played it while waiting for time to open gifts. 

  Both boys got a stamp set from their Granny and Paw. They have been putting stamps allover paper today. Scooter even told Rascal that they could play school and he would put a dinosaur on his paper if it was good and a volcano on his paper if it wasn't his best work. HA!

 Here is Baby A on her new princess potty from Uncle Jonathan. She LOVES to sit on it! If you ask her "do you need to go potty?" she runs in the bathroom and sits on it. She always sits on it before baths, right after she wakes up in the morning and after naps. So far she has only gone on it once and I am most certain it was a fluke thing but hey I will take what I can get.

The boys each got a fishing pole, tackle box and some accessories from their Uncle Jonathan. I think they are going to go try it all out this weekend. It should be lots of fun.

The boys also got some much needed clothes, some fun board games, Rascal got some Rescue Heros and other fun action figures, Scooter got his Abercrombie jacket he wanted and they both got lots of great things in their stockings.  Baby A got a pink smart trike, baby legs, the cutest denim skirt I have ever laid eyes on, some bath toys and lots of other fun toys to play with. 

We headed home to get the kids in bed and ready for the next busy day.

I will post about Christmas day tomorrow. I don't want to post 20 pictures or more in one blog post.
