Christmas Eve (s) at the Grandparents'!

Oh how we love Christmas Eve around here: traditions, food, family and the spirit of Christmas is in the air. Every Dec. 23rd we go to Roger's side where Nana Marsha works really hard for a fabulous steak candlelit dinner, with a toast to the New Year, and cousins do the nativity scene... My little Ash gets so excited she can hardly contain herself.

And Papa Alan is always so fun- he loves to tease the kiddos and make them laugh...

My Jake and Jonah are growing up so fast. Jake is so witty and fun. Jonah is so kind and also the life of the party...


talk about life of the party- the boyz on the Roger's side, (jigga and shooter) always have a trick up their sleeve making us laugh

And the cousins are so dang cute- love the nativity scene:

Look at our Papa

And all the Roger's cousins led by Nana Marsha for the scene

My cute Mary...aka Ashley. Abby just found out she's having a baby girl in June and Angie's having another baby girl end of May, so more girl cousins are coming! Yah!

Look at all those Rogers kids!

On Christmas Eve we go to Jones side where again, my mom makes a fabulous dinner with the entire family and we sing songs and do the nativity scene, open gifts, and spend time together

My dad you can tell, loves pictures, but hey, we need some memories here!

Look at those cute girls and that spread!

My nephew, ADam (center) just got home from his mission. Fun to have him home.

Ang found out she's having a girl! So fun.

Cool cousins (Jo rarely lets me take his picture)

Then off to bed for the little ones snuggled up in their beds getting ready for the "Big Man" to come.....sooooo exciting
