Christmas Eve Day started with David's dad's family coming over to our house to open presents and have lunch. This is a new tradition we started this year which worked out great to have everyone at our house so we didn't have to pack up and move all the presents that were opened back to our house. David's uncle Chris loves for the girls to have at least 10 presents each to open. Poor Katelyn after a few was already tired and wanted to play with what she had already opened, but she would come back around and start opening after a little while. Thank you also to Ray and Amy for the girls gifts and ours as well. We had so much fun hanging out with everyone and not being rushed to get to the next place like we do so many times on Christmas Day!

Christmas Eve late afternoon, we had our family of 4 Christmas and opened gifts from each other and from us to the girls. It was a nice fun tradition to do now, especially with Katelyn starting to understand everything. After this mom and dad came over for a little while to see Katelyn getting all excited for Santa to come, then it was almost time for Katelyn to turn in and Santa to make his arrival!

Angry birds! or as Katelyn makes it sound like " Yankee birds". She saw this game and picked it out for Daddy since he plays it on his computer all the time! She was so excited!
