    We got to spend Christmas Eve day with Zach's family.  We started out with a yummy breakfast and then we got to open our stockings and gifts from Gary and Sally.  Kabree was pretty excited to pass out everyone's stockings to them.  She was really excited to see that in her stocking she got bubbles and chap stick.  She was pretty excited about her mermaid and dolphins, she had to show Grandpa Gary how she swims.  We got very spoiled by Grandpa and Grandma.  After gifts the adults played games while the girls watched Nemo.  We ended the afternoon with Pizza Hut pizza.  We had a great time and a lot of laughs as always when playing games with Zach's family.

    After Zach's parents house we headed out to Arbon to Larin and Jessica's for a beautiful Christmas Eve dinner.  Jessica served us on her china (I was a little nervous) and made a very taste ham dinner.  We all really enjoyed it and Kabree loved feeling very grown up eating at the kids table with her fancy drink.  Shawn his kids, Dad and Mom and Jessica's Mom and Clyde were all able to enjoy the night together.  I just have to say that Mattie and Makenna made the place settings for everyone and I thought they did a great job.

Christmas Eve Night
 Opening our one gift for the night
 Grandpa and Grandma dancing
    Cookies and milk left out for Santa

    After our yummy dinner at Larin's we headed over to Dad and Mom's to open one present our Christmas pj's, Kabree kept pushing Grandma's reindeer that sang Christmas songs so Kabree stated shouting "Grandpa, Grandma dance", so after a little dancing we said our prayers that we were grateful to celebrate Jesus's birthday the next day and for our families, then of coarse we had to set out our cookies and milk for Santa before going to bed!  
    Kabree was pretty excited for Christmas morning and going to bed was a bit hard especially because we heard Santa's bells right before going to bed.  Kabree got a little upset because after hearing the bells she thought Grandpa, Grandma and Mommy were talking to Santa without her.  But after we explained Santa couldn't come until she fell asleep and that we promised we would not talk to him without her she was able to close her eyes and go to sleep : ).
