Christmas Eve Gift

Christmas Eve we usually celebrate over at Jake's parents house with his whole family. It is a HUGE gathering, imagine my family times 9, plus a few more! We do a gift exchange with someone else in the family. ( Michelle & Ern, we hope you liked your gift!) Mom and Dad Lay sent us a box from them, Aubrey and Gram and Pa Simpson. The night came, and we were doing nothing, so we let Reese open up the box. It was full of surprises! Thank you soo much for everything, I can't keep my mouth shut when those goomy bears are in my sight...more please?

Finally a post!

We are home and are happy to be back but we missed the snow!!! Bummer! We have had rain the last few days, sure beats 360 days of the sun. Christmas is only nights away, Reese can't wait for Santa to come. Every Santa she sees...SANTAS... comes flying out of her mouth. She is soo cute! My mom came for a few days, and we made a million cookies, decorated and all. It was a lot of fun. We did our tree while she was here for her to enjoy with the kids. We are all ready for Christmas in our house, are getting a little anxious for Reese expression on the morning of. We might even do pretend Santa steps in the living room! (Fake Snow) I watched Aiden the other day, and this is what we did for fun, made tape noses. It was great, totally changed how they looked and was hilarious! I hope all are doing great, and have a wonderful Merry Christmas! Love, us!
