Christmas Eve

I feel like I'm trying to play catch-up.

But in my defense, our computer has had

some issues & my camera bit the dust.

I didn't realize how much I need both

of these items. I dropped my camera

on Christmas Eve, great timing right? My

mom was gracious enough to send me home

with her camera & I haven't developed any of the film.

I've always looked forward to Christmas Eve.

It has always been a great memory since I

was very young. My parents did

something a little different this year &

told us that we needed to come prepared

with some sort of "talent". Averi filled

our responsibilities by singing:

"All I want for Christmas"

It was very fitting seeing as how she has lost

her 2 bottom front teeth. There was some

violin, piano, whistling, singing & even a

very rare performance from my

BIL Cody using helium & singing to the

tune of "Ice Ice Baby"...classic!!!

My mom gives each of the kids their

Christmas pj's & an ornament.

We tried to get a picture of all 8 kids,

if you look closely to the pictures above, you

can see that this is no easy task. The pictures

are actually quite funny.

We had so much fun & can't wait 'til next year!!!

(hopefully I can get some pictures of Christmas morning soon...but we'll see!)
