Christmas Eve

Wow...and so Christmas has come...and gone...once again!  We had a great holiday!  Here is round 1 of photos...these are from our Christmas Eve celebration with my side of the family.  Everyone came to our house, we enjoyed a delicious lasagna dinner (thanks again, Mimi Bear!) and had fun exchanging gifts and just hanging out.  It was an awesome way to start the big weekend!

 Present time!  Bear Cub's favorite time!

 Aunt J and 2 of her kiddos...good-looking group, aren't they??

 So happy to have M here from New Mexico!!

 Aunt and nephew...you can tell we belong to the same family, can't you?

 Outside with his awesome snake hook that Aunt J made for him! 

 Cousin H and BC...check out his "catch."  He called it a snake...really just a worm!

 New Christmas Eve jammies on and checking Santa's whereabouts online before bed!  Santa was just leaving Ireland when BC went to bed...perfect timing!  ;)

Getting things ready for Santa and the reindeer.  Poor reindeer...had to share 2 carrots amongst all 8 reindeer...hope they were ok with that!
