I love love love Christmas Eve!
We always spend the day cooking up yummy food, finish wrapping presents, and then we head over to my parents house for early dinner. We start with a Huge Christmas Eve dinner and then we gather for the scripture reading and then we usually read Twas the Night Before Christmas and all Pass around one present to open early. This year the kids opened their present first and the adults sat in a circle & passed our gift bags around as we read "Twas the Night Before Island Park" which we compiled all of our childhood memories of family trips to Island Park into a story to be read. It was hilarious! We all had a good time with everyone. We ten usually have the Christmas Tub game: my parents have a bunch of little trinkets i.e. flashlights, ties, socks, cooking utensils etc... wrapped in newspaper in the bin and we put on gloves and roll dice for doubles to start unwrapping! Super Fun!

These girls were ready!Mark was trying to act like he was sleeping, he had Aisley all propped up asleep on pillows,
so that he could pass around the gifts while he was sitting in a circle with everyone. Cute!
As mom is setting out the presents for the kids to pass, they started to peek and open them, so what else to do when you have three 2 yr olds, not at all interested in waiting....
Let em Rip! My mom just says "uh, ok start opening..." as she is crackin up laughing at the chaos!
So fun to open 1 present on Christmas Eve!
