Christmas Eve

 Christmas Eve for us this year, like Thanksgiving, was a very quiet one.

We had dad's parents for dinner, a quiet evening together and we

ended the night with a visit to the Eckersons!
It's always good to end on a good note. :) lol 

Love this picture of Chariti

Opening gifts from Vavoa and Vavoo.

New PJ's! 

and candles for the older girls.

Vavoa and Seth
Sethers looks so cute! (at least I think he does) :) 
I love seeing little guys all dressed up(he added the bow tie himself :))!

Singing some hymns and Christmas carols...

Both of our grandparents enjoy music so they like it when we all sing together. 

Our grandparents bought Tabitha this mandolin and Vavoo is teaching her to play. Our grandfather has played the mandolin since he was a young'en.

Also celebrating Vavoo's 81st birthday!

Seth tries out his new crossbow from Vision Forum.

After our grandparents left, and the kids were in bed, we called to see if anyone was still at the Eckerson's Christmas party and most people were still there. 

So we decided to head over to their house.

We found out after we arrived (and the only people there were the Fournier's and Eckerson's) 

that about 15 minutes after we called everyone started to leave!

 Though it was short, we still had a great time and enjoyed seeing them!

We leave you with this link:
We Three Kings-Claymation Christmas ( you just need to see this!:))
The part the camels sing is Nate and Ryan's part, we heard they do it very well! We still have yet to convince them to sing it for us though! :)

We wish we had been able to attend candlelight service, it sounded quite lovely, but we were glad to see you guys anyway! :)

Merry Christmas!
