For Christmas Eve, our tradition has always been to go my parents house. I wasn't sure how it was going to be not being around family this year. Our ward had a wonderful Christmas Eve musical program that we went to and then we headed to our Bishop's house for dinner and white elephant gifts. We all had a really good time. We came home and put out brownies and milk (ya know, because Santa gets sick of cookies) for Santa. McKay made sure that we did it. The pictures aren't great because I left my camera flash in Africa. I had to use my phone. They aren't great.
We then opened pajamas per tradition.
This year they all had matching Star Wars pjs.
Love those cute boys. This was the first year that McKay could fit into pajamas that matched his brother. Big deal.
Santa came!
He definitely loved our brownies.
The kids were all pretty thrilled with what Santa brought them.
Scout always leaves a parting gift for the boys
Palmer painted this picture for us. What a fun Christmas decoration for years to come!
We got such a cute package from my friend Kristen.
The boys all got slippers this year and they describe their personalities personality.
The elder spent the day at our house talking to their families and eating lunch with us and we got the sisters for dinner. We felt pretty lucky.
We bought them cute little bike necklaces as a gift.
We started the tradition of prime rib for Christmas dinner and we LOVED it. It will definitely be a tradition for years to come. We had such a lovely Christmas, we missed our family like crazy, but it was still a good one.
