We started out Christmas Eve by sleeping in! Okay, sleeping in to me is anytime past 8:00 AM. It was great! We all got ready and headed over my Mom's House.
At my mom's we made Cookies, had a really yummy dinner, and played lots of games on my sister's Wii. Here is Ben dunking Garett. He wasn't so excited about being way up there
After dinner we decorated cookies and then went downstairs to do the traditional acting out of the Nativity. My mom went all out this year and made costumes for all the Grandkids to participate. They were all sooo excited to dress up, but the only ones that really wanted to cooperate were Spencer, Sydney, and of course my ever happy Garett.Abbie was Mary and wouldn't even come out, but
here are Spencer (Joseph), Garett (baby Jesus), and Elise (a Shepherd).
Spencer, and Sydney (the Wiseman).
Garett was such a great Baby Jesus. Happy and cooing the whole time!
Grace was supposed to be the Angel, but she sure wasn't acting like one!
After the Nativity flopped we sang a bunch of Christmas Carols with my mom's completely out of tune piano. Luckily the singing sounded good still! Then it was time for our pajamas! Here is Grace and Garett in their new warm jammies!
Heather's kids all ready for bed.
We then headed home to put our kids to bed. Grace of course had to lay out the stockings first and leave a cookie and glass of milk out for Santa. She went right to sleep after Ben read her How the Grinch Stole Christmas. We were all so excited for Santa to come!

I love the comment about Grace being the angel. Luckily for the Harpers, Brieya was the angel this year for our play and she really was an angel! But then again, what sleeping 7 week old isn't??? Thanks for all the fun the evening we came over. I really enjoyed talking and spending time with you guys, even with the late night for the kids.
