Christmas Eve ...

Christmas Eve was a day spent around the house until the evening. We went to church service, where the kids were decked out for the festivities and listened to the Pastor talk about receiving gifts.

Afterwards, we headed over to Aunt Sam's house to eat, chat and try to keep the kids down to a dull roar in the basement. Apparently, the Santa Tracker had Santa flying over Asia, on his way to the States, much to the kids' delight.


Cousin Rachelle's family was there. Her daughter, Emma is the same age as Drew, so those two, along with Hannah and Xan, fought over the small rocking horse in the living room. I think Hannah won in the end.



We found out today that Rachelle is expecting child #2 in June. Congrats!

Grandma Brenda and Drew.
I managed to get the kids to sit still for a brief moment to snap this picture.

Then it was off to bed - Santa was on his way!
