Twas the night before Christmas.....

Every year I say the same thing...so much time and preparation goes into getting ready for Christmas and it takes 5 minutes for it all to be to over. Tonight we celebrated Christmas Eve with Bob's sister Jennifer and her family and my sister Jennifer and her family. The kids of course didn't want to worry about eating first and all that they just wanted the presents but we had a little surprise for them and Santa rang the doorbell. He brought each of them a present and they all got their picture made sitting with him, we are sure it has been quite a few years for some of the older ones.

This of course being Lyndsey's first Christmas, I have been taking pictures like crazy all day. Here she is her Christmas dress from Gma Brittain--a little sad because she didn't get to see her in it in person...and the next picture is her anxiously awaiting a present.

Lyndsey is slowly getting the hang of removing the paper, once she figured out the first gift she clapped her hands and would then whine for more.

Here is the group of them opening presents, Lyndsey is still wanting more.
