Christmas Eve at the White House

OK so this first picture isn't Christmas Eve but they did deliver my first Christmas gift and first Christmas decoration! I love visitors. This day was such a crazy day. It was the same day that Dad's house came, so I wish we could have visited longer. I love this picture! I just love my island, it is so fun to have everyone sitting around while I am cooking things up!

I miss my primary kids so much (I miss Randa and Lisa too but their kids gave way more hugs!) This is an invite to all you fellow bloggers out there....come and visit! I know you come to Medicine Hat fairly often....drop the kids off and go shopping, or come for lunch so I can demo my awesome kitchen....whatever just please come!



Now this is Christmas Eve. I took a little trip to an awesome dollar store here in town and bought a whole bunch of silly goodies! We then did the steal or keep game and what ever you got you had to wear for the rest of the evening and during skit in the bag. It was so fun! This is two of Sean's brothers, Randy and Mac. There was lots of trading going on!

His is my Nephew Diedrich. The poor kid got three items stolen from him. I love the expression in this one. He loved these socks and luckily got to keep them. He even wore them Christmas day.

Another of his hot items

And yet another.... It is nice now that they are all a little older. A few years ago this game wouldn't be fun, it would be full of crying!

Here is Ben...the hat thief! He is my oldest nephew. We were able to go to the boys' Christmas concert this year and it was amazing! They did this bell ringing that was unforgettable. It really brought in the spirit of Christmas for me.

Mac sporting his bow tie very nicely!

Hannah the princess who needed her two front teeth for Christmas. She is such a darling girl and a real little chatter. Life is never boring when she is around.

Sean the stud muffin..... What a little cutie. He wouldn't give up his hat! He hates skit in a bag but he was a real good sport! I didn't take pictures which really makes me mad. My favorite two characters were Randy, who was the "muh nuh muh nuh" guy using sleeping smoke to put everyone to sleep (with my golden liahona and Sean's hair trimmer), very funny, you had to be there! and Deid who was Sad Sadie the BO lady! He was wearing quite the dress. Dad named him from an old TV add.

Here the lone wolf is sporting this hat quite well, but not for long

Here is our little Rudolf....hiding her cute nose. Did you ever notice she has a perfect heart on the end of her nose...so cute!

Dad's hat got stolen so now he is sporting red balls. Also my sister-in-law Susanne got my favorite, the Christmas lights. (which I stole from Randy)

London had to leave the party early to guide Santa's sleigh! hee hee

All in all, it was such a fun night full of food...(that lasted forever, I made way too much!) and family, which made our Christmas Eve fun and memorable. I love them and I am so glad some could come for Christmas Eve.
