*And To All A Good Night

Christmas Eve day we took the kids ice skating. Patch is now old enough to wear Tyler's old gear, so he suited up for the occasion.

Christmas Eve night we spend at our house with Chris' family. We have tons to eat,

visit and

share our talents (thanks kids).

There are carols to be sung, and babies to be held.

Christmas morning I think Chris and I were awake before the kids! We told them they couldn't wake us until 8am, which of course would never work. They came in around 7:20am and the day took off from there.

We had a fabulous morning (see post before) at Chris' grandma's for our traditional omelet breakfast.

Then my brother and his family came over for our traditional Calkins/Kesten sleepover.

This year we introduced the kids to the white elephant game. Patch loved stealing from others, but did not like to get stolen from. Other than that it was a big hit!

Doesn't it look like my brother's teeth are rotted out? YUCK! Brush those things!! Really, I think it's my dumb camera, but I thought it was funny.

These two can't take a nice picture without giggling, pinching, kissing, tickling, you name it!

Another great holiday, now to put it all away until next year.
