Christmas Eve!!

On Christmas Eve we had our usual (if at a different time) Christmas with all the kids. They all 3 get to open their gifts from Mom and Dad and to each other.
I was too involved (and tired) to remember to take a lot of pictures but it we had a great time. Zac got a Chargers jersey he hasn't taken off and everyone got some fun stuff. Kelly got the family a Guitar Hero World Tour! We were soooo excited but he accidentally bought the one for Wii not Playstation so we will have to exchange it after Christmas. But as the pictures show there were 2 big hits to play with!!
Dad bought Zac a new nerf machine gun (cause he doesn't have enough nerf guns!!) and it was flippin' AWESOME!! You should have seen the bullets come flying out! Everyone was ducking and dodging!! But I can't remember did the tag say Zac or Steve?!!?
The other big hit was Cory's gift to Dad. He got him a shocking game. I am sure some of you remember Steve's shocking marker.......this one you both held the handles and the shocks start out soft and get more and more voltage as you go. The first one to let go loses. My family loves this game!! Crazy people!! But it was fun to watch their faces and we all had a great laugh! Hopefully no permenant damage was done!!


After we all played (napped he!he!) and got ready we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner and more fun.
Dinner was wonderful as usual!! How can you go wrong with homemade chili and chicken noodle soup! Yum Yum!! Grandma always has a great spread and we love her for it! It makes it extra special that she goes to so much trouble for us every year! We love you!!
Steve had to bring his new game and everyone thought it was pretty funny.



Grandma got the kids good. She didn't get lists this year so she gave them all coal and told them to do better next year. They were all good sports and apologized (and blamed it on we parents!!) so she brought out the real gifts! Fun was had by all before we headed off for home and getting ready for Santa!


Well everyone else did. My troops and I went to see Christopher and all the rest of the Jewell's for their traditional Christmas Eve party. It was nice to get to see everyone!
