We all love ice skating Christmas Eve day...thanks Crane's for passing this one on to us! This year I was the official camera lady...they were having so much fun I wished I could have joined them.
I was surprised at how much Gavin enjoyed it. The kid was in heaven!
McKenna was great and pushed him around a lot.
This was Abby's best year ever! She only clung to the wall the first 10 minutes or so and then was out in the middle having fun.
That evening we headed over to the Quinn's house and spent Christmas Eve with them and the Evans...our family away from family. We had an appatizer dinner and chocolate fountain for dessert.
We did the nativity followed by a talent show...Abby was the angel, McKenna was Mary
And Gavin and Zachary were shepherds.
Then home for our own little thing...of course we opened up new PJ's. But this year we also decided to have the kids exchange the presents they got each other on Christmas Eve. This way they seemed a little more special, stood out more instead of getting lost in the mix, and the kids were a lot more excited about them then if we open them on Christmas Day.
Abby gave Gavin some Star Wars guys
McKenna gave Zachary a pillow pet
Zachary gave McKenna a CD that he and Bret put together off of itunes...this girl who loves music was over the moon excited!
And Gavin gave Abby a necklace.
After watching a little of a movie and leaving cookies and milk for Santa it was off to bed where they all slept in the same room. Not sure what time they eventually fell asleep, but it definitely took awhile!
