Christmas Eve (part 1)






We have spent Christmas Eve at Ken and Cindy's home for the past 4 years. This year we celebrated with Ken and Cindy, Zak and Lauren, and Devin. We had dinner and exchanged presents with them before going home to sprinkle reindeer food on the lawn and put out those fabulous Christmas cookies that we made earlier that day. Aiden received an art easel with a whiteboard, chalkboard, 2 rolls of paper and markers and Blake received about 10 boxes of different Lego sets from Ken and Cindy. Zak and Lauren bought Blake Nerf Dart Tag and bought Aiden a gumball machine. Devin and Stephanie bought the boys a super fun Star Wars game. They had full stockings to open at their house as well. Being the only grandchildren definitely has some rewards!!!!! Oh, and if you're wondering about the orange ring around both of their mouths in all of the pictures, that would be the Orange Crush we let them have at dinner....oops!

Frosting anyone?





Making cookies for Santa was one project..... it was an entirely separate project to frost the cookies later that afternoon. If you read the post just before this one you will notice that although it is the same day, Aiden is not in the same clothes... hmmmmm..... I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!
