Christmas Eve 2011

We are so fortunate to have all of our family close by. We actually got to see everyone on Christmas Eve. We went to Gigi and Granddaddy's house for lunch and saw Great Granny, Aunt Phyllis, Great Papa, Millie, Aunt Jill, Uncle Billy, Grace and Brooke. We exchanged gifts and played.
Christmas Boys!

These are the only pictures of Ford in his sweater vest,
he took it off as soon as we got to Gigi's and refused to put it back on.
Ford really wanted to sit at the little table for lunch.
So he did and everyone else was at the big table.

Jake is ready to eat!

Jake gave Great-Papa a nice hug :)
 
Another set of twins!  Okay, not really, but matching sisters - Aunt Phyllis and Gigi.

Our little family.
We then came home for a little nap and then went over to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner with Aunt Kimberly, Uncle Glenn, Blake and Benjamin.  All the boys had a great time together.  Blake put Baby Jesus in his cradle and Benjamin recited the Christmas story.  Ford and Jake decided to be his back-up and copied his moves and repeated parts of the story.  It was so precious.  We also exchanged gifts.
Getting 4 boys to pose for a picture is nearly impossible!

The Nativity Story by Benjamin; Props by Blake; Back-up by Ford and Jake
The video is priceless!!

Opening presents.

A marshmallow gun armed Santa . . .Yikes!!

It isn't Christmas at Grandma & Grandpa's without the trains!

All the boys decided to help, Grandpa was being brave
and let them have turns with the controls.

This needs to be Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas card next year! 
It's life with 4 Grandsons and a crazy dog!

A little better . . .

We drove by a few streets to look at some Christmas lights and came home to get ready for bed.  Ford and Jake were so excited to put out cookies and milk for Santa.  We said "bye" to our friend Eddie the Elf (since he would be going back with Santa) and listened to our "Night Before Christmas" book that Granddaddy recorded last year for us.   Then Ford and Jake got snug in their beds with great anticipation for the morning!
