Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve at Nanna and Pappa's house with Cory and Jessica and Lexi and Luke. Usually Lisa and Jack are there as well, but of course this year they were in the hospital with their new babies! We missed them, and can't wait to see them. We had a wonderful dinner with ham, turkey, dressing, Nanna's famous tators and gravy and deviled eggs and a whole bunch of desserts. We hardly made it through dinner-- the kids were so hyper and excited to dive into the gifts. I think Juddson was the only one who actually ate anything. As soon as we finished eating, they started tearing into presents. The first one Juddson opened was a Gabba gabba tent, which he put up on the couch and sat in front of it so no one would steal it from him. His next one was the Gabba gabba guitar, which got him off the couch. He played with that for the next 2 hours, singing and dancing and clapping to all the songs... and if no one was watching him, he'd yell at them "NANNA" and once he had her attention, he'd go back to his singing. Harper was opening one of hers from Jessi and Cory and it was a baby doll, but it was wrapped in a a big crockpot box and she saw the crock pot picture and said, "No" and I don't remember if she said, I don't want it or that's not mine, but it was something like that, and she dropped it and walked away... we had to explain to her that it was something different inside, so Josh opened it part of the way so she could see pinkness inside and then she got excited again, and loves the baby doll and all the clothes and things that were with it. Noah opened his game and wanted to play his "truck game" so bad it distracted him from opening all of the other things. He couldn't wait to get home and play it. He did love his Thomas the train tent and played in it with Piglet. We all had a great Christmas together and thank everyone for the gifts.
