Kaylee & McCall enjoyed some snuggle time with Grandma.
Makenna & Nicholas. 
The next morning the kitchen was a busy place making pies, rolls, and getting things ready for our Christmas Eve Dinner.
I helped a little, but between Tamra & Karen they pretty much had it under control, so I enjoyed posing for Carson who was having a blast taking pictures with my camera. 
During the afternoon, Nicholas took the kids out sledding across the street. They had a blast!
They all got cleaned up and we got ready for our Christmas Eve Dinner. Nicholas was in charge of carving the turkey. He did a great job!
Nick's sister, Tamra was there from California with her two kids, Ian & Aria. Nick's brother Ryan and his two kids, Chase & Taylor were also there for Christmas.
We had a yummy Ham & Turkey dinner with all the fixins! We ate before Papa Bear had to go to work.
After dinner, we attended the Annual Holden Ward Christmas program. We listened to the Primary children sing Christmas songs, read the Nativity, and waited for Santa to come.
During the program, Kaylee zonked right out. It was SO cute!
After a bit of wait, it was finally their turn to see Santa! They were so excited! They hadn't seen him all Christmas season until Christmas Eve.
He of course asked them what they wanted for Christmas. Carson told him 'A Camera' and Kaylee said she wanted 'Dolly and Barbies'. They got a BIG bag of candy, peanuts, and an orange from Santa.
When we got home, the kids each got to open one present, which of course were new pajamas.
All the cousins in their new pj's. Carson, Aria, Chase, Ian, Kaylee & Taylor.
After putting on PJ's, we got ready for bed. Grandma Karen read some books and we got the cookies & milk out for Santa. And of course, carrots for the reindeer.
We got the kids to bed and the adults stayed up a bit longer enjoying the quiet time and visiting around the beautiful Christmas Tree.
Then during the night, Santa stopped by and set out the toys for Carson & Kaylee, and filled all of our stockings with goodies!

We all tried to get some sleep on Christmas Eve, but I think I was so excited for my kids that even I found it hard to sleep! Kaylee was up a few times during the night, I don't think she felt very good and because she didn't eat very well that day, she was hungry and Nick had to get her some chocolate milk and a granola bar during the night to get her to go back to sleep. But it was still a great Christmas Eve!!!
