Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve was the beginning of lots of Christmas celebrating for us. We had Josh's parents over for a yummy dinner. Afterwards we had a little bit of time to kill before we talked to Elder Ben on SKYPE! Talk about an awesome Christmas chat! So Josh and I decided to let the kids go ahead and open their Christmas Eve presents just in case we needed to quietly use them while people were still talking with Ben if the call went too late.

 Joey was so excited to open her first present! She loved her festive jammies, unfortunately the seam on the pants ended up being a bit itchy. Hopefully they'll be more comfortable now that they've been washed.

 Here Nick and Tristan are getting started opening theirs.

 This is where Tristan's obsession with the camera began. No joke. He spent the rest of the evening crawling around trying to get in Josh's face with cheesy grins. A typical boy...he could care less about pajamas!

 Nick had fun with his for a bit.

I think the boxes eventually got switched around in all the chaos trying to keep them interested.

Nick opened some cute green reindeer jammies!

(Not to worry about the mix-up, luckily at this age they don't care, and we didn't have a preference who wore what, either.)
As a matter of fact we couldn't remember who opened which ones when we went to get them ready for bed, and Nick ended up in the red ones not pictured here (watch for the Christmas morning post). Lol!
