Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve we had my family over for dinner. We enjoyed a delicious Brisket dinner then had a little scavenger hunt for the kids to find their Christmas PJ's. They had a lot of fun running around the house trying to find them. Carson got some "Cars" pajamas and slippers while Marcus got just some bright red pajamas to match his little elmo slippers. Here is Carson and Marcus showing off their new jammies:

Then we opened all the presents from eachother since we were all together. The kids also had drawn eachother's names so they opened those presents as well. Everyone got lots of fun things.

Marcus got a little radio from his cousin that he just loved! He kept wanting it to play music and would get mad when it stopped, so we had to listen to this little radio play music for quite some time!

Carson got a "Whack-A-Mole" game from Nono and Nona and tried it out with his uncle "Da".

Then Carson and Marcus had even more fun with their uncle Da while he pushed them around and gave them rides on Carson's little 4wheeler. What a great uncle!

After all the presents and fun, Darvell and my dad suprised us by pulling out all our old band instruments! Darvell had been practicing and played some Christmas songs on his saxophone while my dad played the piano for him. Tashina got out her old flute and played along and I got the old clarinet and did the best I could, which was probably like 3 notes that I could play! But I figured that was pretty good for not playing in over 15 years... So that was really fun to take a trip down memory lane to the jr high band days. After that and the little kiddies went to bed, the adults stayed up playing card games, Xbox and eating lots of yummy treats till around 1 in the morning. It was a great Christmas Eve!!
