Christmas Eve

Milk, cookies, and letters for Santa

We gathered around the piano and sang Christmas carols. This is one of my favorite things especially with lots of family.
We ended the night with Grampy reading to all the grandkids. Then the sound of bells outside quickly got the little ones off to bed.

Jackson, Brewer, Makena, Logan, Jordan, Larson, Jake, and Maben (a friend of Chris' boy visiting from Michigan)

Brewer and Logan

The babies of the families

Jackson and Jake

A few pics from our Christmas' past.

This year we were in Tucson at Fred and Elizabeths house

We only had Jake and Jordan for this one
at Grampy and Nanas in Toledo, Ohio

Then came Jackson and Makena

Then came Larson, Brewer, and Logan

Jim and Cindy have 5 children and are all grown.

So that makes 12 total for Grampy and Nana

Aunt Mary did some crafts and candle making with the kids.

Christmas Eve dinner was very good and I enjoyed the entire thing from planning, cooking, eating, to cleanup.

This is me at my post. Quite often you could find me there.

One thing about this Christmas to remember is that it was full of energy and lots of kids being thrown around. More to come on that one.
