Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we had a party with Grandma and Grandpa Debbie, Aunt Sara, Stetson (Sara's boyfriend-now fiance) and his family, and us.  Before the Bates arrived we had a treasure hunt.  The prize at the end was pajamas to wear Christmas night. 

We had dinner, read the story, sang some songs and did the normal Christmas Evey type things.  Sandy Bates brought some Crackers that had wind up penguins in them and we had penguin races.  It was actually quite humorous.  We set out Pepsi and a peanut butter bar for Santa and then the kids went to bed. (Kind of).  The adults sat around and talked for a while and then we did the normal things parents do on Christmas Eve.  I think the evening went well and all my massive amounts of work paid off.  I'm just glad my mom was around to help me keep up with things like the dishes!  Thanks Mom!
