Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was quite different for us this year than typical!

Because of the Nutcracker schedule, we couldn't do our usual Christmas Adam at the Sudduth's and because they have a new puppy they were concerned about hosting.  So, it ended up that we did Christmas Eve at our house!

Now, we just finished Nutcracker last night so we have had a whirlwind of a weekend!  Gigi was in town for the Nutcracker so she was able to stay for Christmas Eve which was also a special treat(Grandpa had obligations at his church on Christmas Eve so he wasn't able to stay!)!

All of the Bishop side of the family came and we enjoyed an evening of good fun, games(I made them play games which is not the usual..lol!) and time with family!

After everyone left, the kids ran outside and put out reindeer food while M and I cleaned up.  Then it was off to showers and getting cookies and egg nog out for Santa. 

The kids didn't get in bed until almost 10pm and M still had to run back to his shop to get a few things.  Needless to say, it was a late night at our house!  

Gigi brought the kids their Christmas jammies!

We forgot to get a good cousins picture, but remembered just as
Will and Madeline were leaving!  This will have to work for 2018's
