Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is always one of the best days at our house during Christmas. We kept telling the boys we were having a Christmas Eve Party and here is how it went down:
We started it out with a hard core coloring competition. Everyone got to vote for their top three (the participants as well as non participants so it wasn't totally bias). This was no little competition, the prizes up for grabs were pretty darn good, so we were fighting hard for it! :) I am proud to announce, I won first place and received the #1 prize, a $20 gift card to target! Wooo hoo!!The grand boys having fun with their coloring prizes
Jonah showed up to the party dressed as our Santa BabyAnd we gave in and bought Jackson a binky since he was so stinkin sick (stay tuned for the story of our Christmas sicknesses... believe me, you won't want to miss out)
Great Grandmas and Grandpas Gardner and Purcell joined us for our Christmas Eve Feast and got to meet the newest addition.
I got a smile out of Jackson despite how bad he was feeling. Heck, who wouldn't smile over a pickle if it was one of your all time favorite foods.
And we ended the night off opening the Christmas Eve Jammies. Jackson "helped" Jonah open his by putting the wrapping right on his face just as I clicked the camera. Good thing Jonah is so chill and just lets his brother do the terrorizing.
Justin said we are getting too old to get our own Jammies, but I beg to differ. I love getting new Jammies, and I was really excited about mine this year!
We tried to get a photo opt with the cousins, and well, this is the best we could get.And my two boys.... funny faces and all! :)

Jonah looks like he wants nothing to do with Jackson or the picture! So funny. You guys look like you had a fun Christmas Eve. And it sounds like you have some fun family traditions.

Cute boys! Hope to meet the new little man sometime!
