Christmas Eve 2008

We truly had a wonderful Christmas this year! Yes,the presents were nice, I will admit, but just the overall feeling of the Season was great. Our family has been blessed so much that we really can't complain about those little things and we realize this. It was so great to have Dustin home for a few days this week and we just soaked him up! The kids sure love having daddy home(and mommy does too)! :)

Christmas eve we spent with the Peterson side of the family. We had our annual pizza and root beer floats. This year each family showcased a talent,or in our case made our kids,and then we had our gift exchange.

Mammy and Grandpa started off the talents by reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas." And to most of our surprise most all the kids sat and listened, even Christian. :)
Greg, Veronica, Chase and Savannah sang Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer for us. So cute!Christian and Chloe(along with some help from mom & dad)sang the Snowman song. Then the second time around all the kids joined in. As you can see they all melted! As Uncle Ryan says "Chloe is quite the booty shaker." She loves to dance!!Tyler,Kyle,Kory,Trey, Kristin & Monty sang "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree." Christian thought this was the best performance and Chloe liked eating the props when it was over.Mia and Emma did a hip-hop routine for us that they have been working on in their class.And of course it wouldn't be complete without the annual letter of the years events from Ryan. He is so darn clever!! This year was about what else...the blogging world. I think this is my highlight every year, I just love his letters.(I will attach a copy later)

And a few more pictures from the fun night!!

Awesome pictures!! Thank you. I love the one with all the kids sitting down to listen to Mammy and Grandpop. I wanted to get a shot of it but I missed. Look at Chase. He is screaming because he can't see. Trey is is his way. Trey is standing up there looking so innocent. These kids are so much fun to watch. I love all of there personalities.
It really was a great night. Keep on dancing Chloe!!
