Christmas Eve

Can you believe Christmas is tomorrow?  We had a few more things to check off our list.  It wouldn't be Christmas without visiting the life size Nativity at the Egberts' home.  This wasn't that hard to do.  Zoe and I had the privilege of attending a special Birthday Tea Party for Suelen Egbert.  We got to taste so many yummy Brazilian treats.  She made this amazing chocolate cake that is to die for.  I hope she's around to make it for my birthday. The boys kindly dropped us off for the event and did a few last minute holiday errands.  When they picked us up we did a quick photo shoot before heading home.
Jack didn't know what to make of the giant camel, nor did he really want to be sitting on its back.  The older two had a blast playing and posing with the different figures.  There were way to many photos to post.  Some will make good blackmail material some day.  You would think with the way they acted that they owned the place.  We are so blessed to have the Egberts in our lives.

We spent Christmas Eve with the Christensens.  We ate lots of snacks, watched "The Polar Express," drank Hot Chocolate, and had a visit from one of Santa's Elves.  We found a package of Christmas Pajamas on their doorstep.  How did he know we'd be there?  We made sure to wrap things up pretty early since Christmas Morning would also be Sunday Morning.  Plus we needed to leave Santa plenty of time to visit our house.

Here is Jack and I enjoying the movie on the couch.
Kysha, Zoe, Noah, and Erik all cozy on the floor.
Our Family Picture.  Notice Mom & Dad match each other and the kids match each other (the same print, different colors).  I wonder if we can keep up this tradition?  Will the elf find our house next year?
