Christmas Eve Eve

We had a very eventful Christmas Eve Eve.  We had a suprise house guest that stayed over on his way home to Alexandria.  I allowed him to spend the night because he brought me 10 boxes of Trader Joe's cornbread! Delish!  Monica, Tyler, Caleb, and Kennedy stopped in to say hello, too.  We headed to Neil's Aunt Catherine's house for Christmas with his grandmother.  She gave all the older great-grand boys remote controlled cars.  They loved them!  Henry received some cute Gymboree blocks.  Catherine served chili and hot dogs.  We got home late that afternoon and I whipped out some cake balls for Beau and Leigh's tacky Christmas sweater party.  Needless to say, we were exhausted after this day!

This is what I woke up to...TJ cornbread!

Bennett thought he was so cool looking down on the place...but then he wanted me to come up there to get him.

Matt helped Henry open his blocks...thanks Matt!

Gigi and Bennett...This is a sweet picture except that Bennett took her brownie off her plate and shoved it in his mouth right after!

Grim (Gigi's husband) and me...we are birthday buddies (January 16th)

Bennett had a little accident while he was playing and we forgot his undies and  pants in Neil's car.  The only kid sized undies there were Isabella's Cinderella panties!  ha!

Missy and Henry...this was Missy's first time to meet Henry.  He fell asleep in her arms.

Next stop...Tacky Christmas!!!  Thanks so much to Dad and Carolyn for keeping our boys!

I made our sweatshirts from all the leftover cotton balls I had from Bs party.

Leslie won a gambling set from the tacky Christmas gift exchange

We gave this "eggstractor" and Neil demonstrated it.  It takes peels the egg in one swift motion!

We stopped down the street to get our photos a Christmas display!

Buteau's, Montgomery's, and us!

We put out our shoes so the Christmas elf could fill it up...coming soon!
