Christmas Eve

Well, these pictures are all backwards...sorry! I have too many to do to go back and redo it all, so enjoy anyway!

On Christmas Eve, my family came to our house for dinner and to open stockings...along with a visit from a special guest!

Payton enjoys a little gift with Daddy.

Jake checks out his new little gift too.

Jake...one handsome little guy! We really enjoyed our time with him. He is growing and changing so much every time we see him! He is such a pleasant, laid-back baby!

My family at dinner. (Jake was taking a nap.)

So wonderful to all be together!

My dad played the part of Santa...so fun for the kids! Obviously, we don't teach them that Santa is really real, but just something to have fun with.

Payton was very intrigued!

We all watched Santa make his big entrance!

Zach was trying to figure it all out...it was very entertaining!

Zach opens the door for a special guest!

Jake, Payton, and Zach all played so well together!

We opened stockings Christmas Eve; here is Payton with a book we got her. She is really starting to take an interest in books!

Opening stockings...

Zach apparently got a tie in his stocking and tried it on with his pajamas!

Payton enjoyed a little play time with her Uncle Chad...and who knew that stacking rings could make such a great pillow!
