We had a "mini" birthday party for Brittany & Clay at Dad's house on Christmas Eve.  The kids both wanted friend birthday parties this year.  Britt got a new Justice bikini from Papa.

Aunt Pam playing dominos with the nieces and nephews, this is so what my Grandma would have been doing if she were still alive.  We really, really miss her!  All my gaming skills came from my Mama!

Lincoln being very tempted by a BIG present 
helping Papa unwrap presents
these 2 look like I caught them with their hands in a cookie jar! 
Drew helping Papa with his new tennis shoes 
Chad got new Chicago Bears Footjoys (golf shoes).  He LOVED them!
Miss Madi got a Baby Alive Doll (yes, the doll that poops!) 
Look at all the kids huddled for the doll's 1st meal! 

Not sure what Lincoln is doing in his new jammies!  It almost looks like he is trying to snap his fingers.

Mr. Clay receiving his favorite game, Madden.  He was SOOOO happy!

We have such a great Christmas Eve!  The kids are all at such fun ages that the unwrapping is a little crazy but so much fun to watch.  Dad really enjoys us all being home.  Christmas Eve is one of the hardest days for me missing Mom.  She loved Christmas Eve.  We were all home together, all at the same time.  As a mother, I think I will be the same way one of these days.
