Christmas Eve

I love the traditions we have with Hubs's family. And I love that we all live close enough that we are all able to spend Christmas as a family.

The first thing we do is go bowling as a family. And I totally forgot my camera and was super bummed about it the entire time we were there. Mac was really clingy and was having trouble with walking because of his weird limp. But he really liked to roll the ball.

As you can tell there are always a ton of presents under the tree (presents for 20 people). And actually I thought that there wasn't as many this year, funny!

Then in the evening we all get dressed to act out the Nativity. It was sad to see that most of the kids are so grown that no one wants to do any of the main parts anymore. I am always the photographer.


Mac left this on for a half of a second.

They are so cute!

The fun Uncle J!

I was trying to get a cute picture of him sitting on the step but he wouldn't cooperate. This is the best I got.

Our Traditional Nativity Family Picture!

Santa usually has left the his presents for all the kids on the front porch after we have eaten dinner. It was youngest to oldest, but some how Mac still got his last. The older kids knows there is no Santa but they play along great.

We kept on asking him what it was and he would only say "open it!"

Hubs was kindof mean and put it away so Mac couldn't see it.

But he is just trying to make sure we don't lose anything, with 20 people opening presents and almost half of them kids things get lost in the chaos easily!

The Chaos!
