Christmas Eve 2007

Sam was trying so hard to get Paige's toes...

Emily giving Jenessa some sugar Mikalle and Carson opening gifts

Christmas Eve in my family is the night we have our big get together, this year my sister in law Paula and the boys Tyler and Carson came from Kansas, Todd, Jennifer, Lauren, Jenessa, Paige came from Lindon, UT. In very snowy weather... My Brother Wayne, My sister Wendy, my parents of course and Stuart and I and the kids... So we had a full house. It was great. Traditionally we open only one gift Christmas eve, and for the last 30 years of my life it has been the same thing, new pajamas... ( We want to look our best for Christmas morning) but we let everyone who traveled in open their gifts too. Jennifer reads twas the night before christmas, cajan style...(very funny) and we sing carols... It was so much fun to get together as a family and enjoy each other... Dinner was not quite the traditional one we usually have, our turkey didn't finish cooking in time so it was more of a buffet style, pick and munch all night but it was really tasty none the less...
