Christmas Eve at Oma and Opa's

Christmas Eve we all(the five of us plus Josh's parents) headed to Oma and Opa's after nap time.  We enjoyed some yummy munchies (love the horseradish cheese spread) and pizza dinner (a LONG STANDING family tradition).  This year the pizza was not homemade due to Oma's knee treatment the day before, but it was still yummy and the company even better.

The boys enjoyed playing with Opa and Chloe.  Sean was having a blast getting Chloe kisses!!  And of course who could forget presents.  Jack, Ewan and Sean all did quite well and loved everything they got.  They are really enjoying having a bag for their toys in the car that they can reach!  Today they were thrilled to wear their new bike shirts for hot chocolate with Oma AND Opa (and shoe shopping for Jack too, another story).  Oma does a great job of finding them things they love without always being toys (OK, so sometimes I help with ideas).

After a fun evening with both sets of grandparents the boys went home and spread out their reindeer food (Jack made some at school and his teachers were so sweet and sent a bag home for each of the boys).  Then they put out some cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.  After bath it was off to bed, awaiting Santa's arrival!!

FYI:  The insisted on wearing their Packers and Badgers shirts from Emmie M.  I was going for something more festive, but they would not hear of it!!  THANKS Emmie M, you made their day!!!

tree before that night or they would have been open already)!
