Christmas Eve

We love having a White Christmas up in Mt. Charleston at Great Gpa Fitz's house. 

 Their first time in the snow...can you tell they LOVED it! At least for awhile :)

 

And the big kids first official snowman...maybe not quite as good as Olaf, but we'll take it :)

 A rare picture of the six of us. I love it!

 We didn't know how long we would be in the mountains, so I didn't really plan anything for the rest of the night. So we made a few funny last minute choices on Christmas Eve.
First...Lowe's because we needed a part for the toilet, and why not?

 Second...Applebee's because...we had no food in the house!

 Then, of course-my favorite Christmas moments...jammies, reading Luke 2 and The Night Before Christmas, a picture by the tree, cookies for Santa, and tucking everyone in so Santa could come.

 We had the big kids sleep in our room so we could wake up on Christmas morning together. It was really fun listening to them try to sleep so Santa would come. I wish I had a picture. Then...he came!

 Rachel really wanted a Sophia doll,

 and Adam wanted a Jack in the Box "more than anything".

 The babies couldn't ask for anything, but Brooke kept brushing her hair with her hand, so Santa took the hint :)

And to all a good night!
