Family Christmas Eve Party

One of our family traditions is getting together every Christmas Eve for dinner and presents. I don't have any pictures of dinner, which was fabulous!

The girls and I were the first ones downstairs for gifts, so I made them take a picture as a surprise for everyone else.


How cute is Eli's Christmas outfit?

Opening up a present from Grandma to both of them.

Deciding who got to be which fairy. Luckily there were an even number.

It was a t-shirt with a gun stamp (I think?). Although, Mom and Addie are super cute in this picture.

A pony from her cousins. Check out Mom's excited face in the background. She's opening up the game Candyland that Zoe gave her.
