Christmas Eve 2012

We always have our Christmas gathering with Justin's parents on Christmas Eve afternoon/evening. This year they cooked boiled shrimp and crab legs (my favorite:). The only thing missing was the sand and the ocean;). Maybe next year, ha! 

After we filled our bellies, the kids and I made reindeer food.

We even poured some in MawMaw's yard in hopes that the big

 guy would stop at her house and leave her a few prizes too;)!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we swapped things up a bit and let MawMaw open her

 present first. Back in the summer we had the kids' hand prints

put on a platter and made a flower garden out of them. 

 

 

And, of course, there were presents galore for all

 the little people (and a few for us bigger folks too:).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year the girls got special surprises...

 

 

 

 

 

Tumbling mats...which we learned also double as wrestling mats;)!

  And (drum roll please) toy of the night goes to...

 

The stairs;)
