Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve proved to be a whole day of fun! The biggest surprise of the day was that it snowed! Jane was super excited! She went out a couple of times during the day. Jill and Jackson had to watch from inside.
The second time Jane went out the snow had accumulated on the ground so she was determined to make snow angels. Only she couldn't figure out the best place for that. She tried here...

and here...

She also wanted to eat the snow...


Jill was watching Jane so intently that every time Jane would eat snow Jill would copy her...

After our snow adventures Jane came in and made a little holiday craft...

Again, Jill had to just watch...

They turned out pretty cute...

In the early evening we went over to my parents for Christmas Eve dinner and presents!

This is my brother Stephen and Jane.

My brother Preston got an ipod touch and Stephen's boys Cameron and Carson were so disappointed because they desperately wanted one too (little did they know Santa is bringing them one tonight shhhh... don't tell them).
Jill is such a Paw Paw girl!

Jane LOVED her presents! Here are some of her favorite ones...



Jill LOVED her presents too...


I think Stephen and Monica were glad to finally get the extremely too long wedding throw I have been working on (or holding hostage- whichever way you want to look at it) for TWO YEARS!


And me... LOOK WHAT I GOT!!!!!

All in all it was a Christmas Eve that couldn't be beat! I can't wait to see what is in store for tomorrow!

Great pictures!! I love the one of Jill standing on the chair while Jane is crafting! I declared the other night that I was just going to get my own Cricut - looks like I won't have to! Lucky you!
