Christmas Eve Fun...

These 1st few pictures are just random ones from the week:

Cali found Aunt Maegan's camera and started to "take pictures". She would hold up the camera just like this and say "CHEESE!!"


The kids enjoyed being spun around in this chair quite a bit. They would crack up and want to spin as long as someone was willing to do it.





For Christmas Eve my Mom and sister Tammy had a few activities they wanted to do. My Mom had gotten some of the kids aprons and Tammy's kids got aprons for Christmas from their other Grandma so my Mom wanted to bake cookies and decorate them with the kids wearing their cute aprons. So, we put all the kids in their aprons and baked some cookies.




Grandma baking with all the Grandkids:
*no children were burned in the making of these cookies (the oven wasn't actually on)







Once the cookies were baked all the kids decorated them and left them on a plate for Santa.






Tammy wanted to continue a tradition that had sort of died out. We used to go to my super fun Grandpa's for Christmas Eve when we were kids and they would get out all of their Muppet puppets and we'd sing the 12 days of Christmas (like John Denver did with them). It was always so fun and a great tradition! We haven't done that since we all grew up so Tammy made a bunch of puppets to look like the different muppets and we did the 12 days of Christmas.


Then Mom got out the package of pajamas for the kids (My Mom started a tradition where Mrs. Clause drops off jammies on Christmas Eve). Aedan LOVED his jammies that my Mom had made for him because they were CARS jammies.




I got Geoff Superman jammies because he's my super hero! :)
