On Christmas Eve morning we all piled up in the van and drove to Lincoln to celebrate Christmas with more family. On Christmas Eve we celebrate with my side of the family- we ALL get together in my parent's house and have a good ole fun time. We eat turkey, prime rib, and many more fixin's. When we got there we went to visit Santa, I have photos from the Santa shack..just not ones on my camera. Stevie was not willing to sit on his lap, so Mama sat on Santa and he sat on her lap. :) Ethan was perfectly fine with it, but he is still really little to know. We went and ate lunch at Panera then headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's for nap time. The evening is where the craziness begins. Its usually about 30 of us in my parents' house! The kids all get gifts and we play Christmas BINGO where everyone brings in wrapped prizes. We label them boy, girl, or kids. Some have cool stuff...like money, lottery tickets, coffee mugs,steaks, etc... and some are gag gifts... like a snuggie... and much more! Lots of fun! The boys enjoyed all the action. Stevie ran around with many balls that he had gotten in his gifts and Ethan enjoyed being held by all.
All the Bingo prize.. lots to win!
