Christmas Eve

I know this post is out of order, I just almost forgot that we took this picture.


The kids all slept in Kiana's room to await Santa's visit. It is a tight squeeze, but they loved it.

I remember that my brothers and I would always sleep in the same room on Christmas eve as well. I also remember my dad tying our doorknobs together so we could not get out and peek before he said it was time.

Christmas at Grandparents

We started the day at Grandma Colleen's with an accident. The kids were given some M&M dispensers that used to belong to my dad. Andrew's happened to be one that was never opened. He tried cutting the tip of his thumb off in the process of trying to open it. Luckily, my mom's neighbor is a nurse and she was more than willing to help patch him up. Thank you Linda.

Being brave through the pain

Now onto opening the gifts.....

not the dispenser that caused all the trouble

A princess sleeping bag

Onto Grandma and Grandpa Olsen's....

Kevin's favorite picture.
That pillow pet is Jared's and Kiana kept stealing it.

Kiana got lots of ZHU ZHU pet accessories

Both of our parents gave us cash which we used to buy this new TV stand.

We had an awesome Christmas. More to come later. Those pictures are on a different SD card.
