Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve, we went out for Chinese food. We stole this tradition from Uncle G's family. Although it's his parents and siblings that go for Chinese food on Christmas Eve, not he and Aunt H's family. We started doing it in California when there were to sets of grandparents to spend time with on Christmas and Christmas Eve, so we'd have a little bit of just our family time.


B told Princess Sparkley she could wear her new dress and bring Jenny in her matching one.


Baby X, his blankey, and Bubble. He loves all stuffed dogs (and cats) but is especially attached to this blue one, Bubble.


After Chinese food we came home and had a Christmas lesson, read from the scriptures, sang some Christmas carols and then opened family presents. Baby X got this Webkinz puppy from PS. (Not to use on Webkinz, just for the stuffed dogg-ness of it, we're letting Buddy use the Webkinz code).


Buddy gets Legos from cousin BRL.


Can you tell he's just a little bit excited!?!


Buddy got a Webkinz Zumbuddy from mom and dad and an Webkinz owl from PS.


PS got a Webkinz Zumbuddy as well.


He really wanted this owl. (He got his army watch from G and G M)


From G and G L, a marshmallow bow and arrow. He's thrilled.


The boys got B a Steelers shirt, and Steelers shirts for each of them as well. I'll have to take their picture all wearing them soon.


PS got a fun cookbook and recipe box from G and G L along with some books.
