Christmas Eve

This year we had Christmas Eve morning at our house. Kate was as always excited to have Annie and Joel come visit. They are so loud and move so fast they fascinate her.

First time we have put up a Christmas tree since we've been married. We couldn't find most of the boxes of ornaments so it looks a little bare but we (ok maybe just me) were just excited to finally have one.

Joel and Annie gave us a concert by pretending Grampy's guitar stand was a microphone.

Joel was convinced Kate needed to have every one of her presents sitting beside her. This kinda annoyed her.

Dad gave me a new hubcap to replace the one that was stolen.

Kara and JJ made this fabulous bookshelf for Kate! Annie has one just like it and I have always loved it.

All the kids got these stuffed animals from Grampy that are an animal, a pillow, and a blanket. Very cool.

This one is for you Matt.

Me getting in trouble for taking his picture.

Yay for Jonathan! The only one looking at the camera.

I don't know what he is trying to convince me to do but it clearly isn't working.
