Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is always so full of excitement and anticipation of all that awaits! We spent the day at home finishing wrapping and just preparing for the evening! Uncle Jerry and his boys always come to shoot skeet behind our house in the afternoon. This year they had a HUGE (literally) surprise...my cousin Kevin was home! He works at a ski resort in Colorado so has not been able to be home for years. Matt and Allison surprised everyone and arranged his visit! It was awesome! Later we headed over to Grandma Raye's for all the fun to begin.
Sweet Grandma Raye works so hard to make this a special night. She broke her vertebrae on Thanksgiving helping her sister. She is still in a lot of pain, but kept on going as usual!
 Tyson wanted spiked hair for the occasion. 
 This silly girl wanted to wear her "big red dress"! Look at the wild excitement on her face!
Yay cousin Kevin!


All the "great grandchildren" enjoyed playing together.

One for the money...two for the show...three to get ready...

Now go cat! GO!


 
Another cousin on the way! 

Tyson told stories about his "grandpa" for a long time! 







Present time!







Dirty Santa!!
Nolan always gets a crazy gift! 
And somehow the LOUD gifts got sent home with my children!





Oh the sweetness of a grandpa!

It was so great to see this guy in person!
