Christmas Eve

Ethan enjoyed getting all dressed up for his first Christmas Eve!

Great Uncle John came over to spend the evening with us.
(That's him on the right there, trying not to be in the picture.)
It was so much fun hanging out with him. (Katie and Ethan have never met him before.) And...he brought presents!!!!!!

Ethan loved his gifts!

Katie loved to "borrow" them.

We all had a great time eating and chatting and playing with the gifts.

Uncle John's gifts were a real hit! (He did his homework and brought lots of Mickey Mouse stuff.)

Katie's favorite was a stuffed mickey mouse that has a giant head and regular sized body. We affectionately named him "Big Mickey." (He has joined "Little Mickey" and "Magic Mickey" as a must have on Katie's bed for naps and bedtimes.)

We had fun hanging with Grandma ...

and Grandpa...


and Auntie Jenny. (No pictures of her on Christmas Eve. She was the one behind the camera. In fact, we might not have anything to post if it weren't for her. Thanks, Auntie Jenny!)

And what's a super fun day without a nice, big fit to finish it off? (Katie really wanted more of Grandma's cookies.)
