christmas eve

with the smiths and stanleys might have been one of my all time favs.
we ate tasty food, got some good talk in, and jer came to the rescue with a last minuet store rush.
then onto christmas bingo.. it took a little time to get the bingos agoing

but once they did i think the kids were pretty excited.



then off too the firework show, we only had one injury, matty burned his finger but im calling it a victory




gman was quick to think.. socks on my hands will keep me from getting burned


then once everyone one had headed home we layed the raindeer food and sparkels out so they could see where to land

put the kids down and me and matt got our annual xmas eve pic, mabey hes givin in and knows its a tradtion cuz no faces were pulled and we worked it in the first try 

and then the big man came

Christmas looks mighty festive Arizona Style, fireworks, gingerbread houses, bingo, reindeer dust. . . I know 3 little boys that will never miss out on anything. There Mom is right on top of all the fun. I love the family picture and the you and Matt picture. Dad likes your tree, and wants me to tell you that you did a good a job on it. Thanks again for helping me put up mine. We loved our Christmas surprises. Nice snuggies for me and Wendy's for Dad, his favorite. Especially I loved Dax's picture of the two of us in front of the Christmas Tree. Thank you Dax. Jamie we would love to come visit for Dad's Birthday and your race! I am going to start walking a little faster just thinking about you practicing for all those miles. Oh My! You go Girl! I love you!
