Family Christmas and Christmas Eve

We always get together with the family on my dad's side on December 23rd. The evening's festivities take place at my Aunt Denise's house and include delicious food and lots of fun opening presents. As always, dinner was awesome and everyone had a blast watching the little ones open presents. Kaden and Noah really are very blessed to have so many people who love them enough to get them the awesome gifts they got. I won't ramble on too much about this night, but I will include pictures below!

On Christmas Eve, we loaded up and headed to my parents' house for the annual Christmas Eve drop-in. This is one of my favorite parts of Christmas-time! Many of the people who come to my parents' house are people who have been friends of our family forever and I only get to see them one time a year at the drop-in. It was great catching up with everybody and getting to celebrate this wonderful time of year with my family and family friends. After the drop-in, we headed back up to Chapin for the candlelight service at church. The service was beautiful, and the boys did really well despite being worn out from the drop-in. After church we came home, sprinkled our "reindeer food" on the front lawn, got our jammies on, and put out Santa's milk and cookies! We were all so excited about the next day- Christmas!!! Enjoy the pictures :)
