Grandma Jan, G.G. Wanda, Papa Bob & Grandpa Mark
Pretty typical of my two brothers...
The Kiddos on Christmas Eve in their holiday outfits!
After some dessert, Papa Bob read Twas the Night Before Christmas which has become a tradition with his great-grand kids.
We capped the evening by letting each of the kids open a gift.
On Christmas Eve morning, we celebrated like Christmas morning (minus Santa's visit) at Grandma & Grandpa Stevens house. Grandma had yummy breakfast and the kiddos enjoyed singing carols with Grandma & Grandpa. Here they all are getting into singing Jingle Bells!
And then we let the kids go at it. They are at such a fun age for gift giving and it was a blast to watch them each tear into presents and get excited while cousins/siblings looked on.
Brendan has changed so much since last Christmas and seemed to have figured the whole present deal out!
Janie being coached through opening her present by sweet cousin Taylor.
And Poor Hailey's initiation into the Stevens clan, a gift of a new set of neoprene waiters, boots, and a rod and reel. I hope she knows as much as the rest of her that those items are more precious than jewelry to Ryan, so he must really like her!
Of course it wouldn't be a holdiay without LOTS of outdoor gear. Kevin models te new self-inflating life vests dad bought everyone for the boat, especially Kev who isn't really a natural in the water.
Ryan is really excited about his new net!
And it wouldn't be a holiday without a few of these cheesy shots. Clara is completely willing to face the camera these days but we're still working on natural smiles and looking at the camera. Poor thing comes by it naturally because there are quite a few of these shots of Mommy through the years too!
Big hugs for Uncle Ryan who spoiled all the kids this year!
