Christmas Eve

**I must make a correction on something that I wrote on a lower section of this post. My parents DO have a chimney but they have a pellet stove so it would make it really hard for Santa to come down it and into the house. Sorry for the confusion.(Gentry)**

We had a great Christmas Eve Party at the good ole Palomar. Family, Food and Santa are a great combination!

I couldn't find a cardboard cutout to put Chase's face on so I just brought his picture and had people take pictures with it.

The kids were very excited for Santa to come. I prepped them earlier to make sure that they were going to be brave and go and sit on his lap.

Kenny loves Santa and she did great. She also didn't open her present for a little while. She likes to prolong things like that.

Meanwhile Connor was opening his present before he even left Santa's lap!

Lawson was as chill as always.

All three did great and were definitely on the Nice list

Somehow Santa had a present for Josh in his bag! I about died laughing at his face when they called out his name. He was a great sport about it.

He loves this lemonade and as one of Santa's elf's I had to help him get some.

We played some Minute to Win It games and had a blast.

I think he was praying for some peace and quiet.

The girls turn to do Minute to Win It. I wasn't the fastes but I did get the cookie to my mouth.

Nick's missing toes! Looks much better without the dying blackness that they were.

After the family party we had a little Nativity at my parents

Josh got to be the Donkey

George made for a cute lamb

We're missing a few key people, like the baby Jesus but he made an apperance.

I love this pic of "Mary" looking at "Jesus"

We had a great time doing the Nativity

The kiddos in their Christmas PJ's.

This is a key that my Mom got for Santa. Kendry was worried that Santa wouldn't be able to come to my homes house because she didn't have a chimney.

The kids were really excited for Christmas to come. Kenny told me that she wouldn't be able to go to sleep but she was out like a light.
