Once Christmas Eve hits, it's usually go, go, go until the 26th when we get to relax for a bit. This year Beth, Andy, & I went to church with Grandma and then headed to the Jeffers for Christmas Eve Round 1. I wasn't sure about taking Kinley to church especially since it's usually packed for Christmas Eve mass so she stayed with daddy and met us later. We were welcomed by 2 beautiful babies - Ava & Kinley.

| Our 2 favorite Christmas Gifts! |
Since a lot of us have to celebrate 2 Christmas Eve's, we chowed down & then gathered to play the white elephant gift game. There were some interesting gifts this year!
 |
| Laura got beans?? I don't remember! |
Nothing will phase this super daddy, not even an over-tired, over-stimulated 3 month old with a bow on her head! (Notice the paci in the mouth). Aunt Beth enjoyed her mitten that doubled as a drink/bottle coozie!
Rachele got a shake weight - hey, that's a good one! ; )
After the game we exchanged a few other gifts & went to Rob & Sue's house for the Tucker celebration. Here's all the cousins piled on the couch:

| Brayden, Rian, Delaney, Maille, Kinley, Kylie, & Aidan |

As usual, the crowd always seems to gather around the island in the kitchen. Isn't it like this for every family? We enjoyed even more goodies & tracked Santa online to make sure we were home in bed by the time he was close!

I have no idea what time we left, but I do know that I had ZERO presents wrapped! So Scott & I hurried home to get everything ready for the big day in the morning!
