Christmas Eve!!

Here is a recap of all our fun activities on Christmas Eve day! Auntie Laura came over in the morning. A little later, Grandma Pam and Uncle Brian showed up too! We made cookies, played, had a tasty lunch, fed the reindeer, checked out Uncle Brian's new car, and opened some Christmas presents!



The frost on our tree made for some nice family photos!

Uncle Brian too!

Putting out reindeer food. It's a mix of oatmeal and glitter. The oatmeal is for strength. The glitter is the magic that helps them fly!

We girls LOVE to play with dollhouses.


Girls also love to farm. Thanks for the farm Aunt Karen!


Nathan LOVES his new truck that hauls all his cars.


You can never have too much equipment. (Isn't it great how there is snow falling in the background?)


Playing with the new toys.


Elizabeth got some adorable clothes from the Grandmas and Kim. Here's a cute one!


Having fun opening kids' presents.


Elizabeth loves to build playdough towers.


Aunt Laura found a Nathan safe (egg free) sugar cookie recipe. We used fake milk and fake butter and they turned out all right. Here are Dad and Nathan mixing the dough.


Ingredients lined up. Ready to make cookies!
