Christmas Eve 2013

This year was my favorite Christmas ever. 

We had a great time with Live.Give.Love. leading into the main event.

The birth of Jesus Christ.

We had some of our extended family over on Christmas Eve.

What started out as an ordinary night turned into so much more.

We were paid a very special visit by Santa Clause.

The kids had so much fun!  

It is so fun to experience Christmas through the eyes of the child!

After Santa left Griffin took over the evening.

He had a song list written for all to sing.

He led Christmas carols and we all joined in.

How can you not smile and have a good time right?

We rounded out the night with our Christmas Eve tradition.

Here is a few highlights of our evening:

What a special guest at the front door.
Santa!!!

Look at their smiles.
Such JOY!

So one person wasn't thrilled to see the guy in the red suit.
Cohen...

Our family with Santa.

Santa had to run.
He had a night full of stops and we are thankful we were one of them!

Such a magical moment...

After our guests left the boys slipped into their Christmas jammies.
They set out cookies and milk for Santa.
They also said their final good byes to Lefty as he was catching
a ride back to the North Pole with Santa.

This Christmas eve will be very hard to top.

Merry Christmas to all...

and to all a good night!
