Christmas Eve.

The kids got to open thier presents from Mom and Dad.  They also decided Travis and I could open a present i chose this one because Leo already opened it.

The big gift from mom and dad was a karaoke machine. And some little games.

We tried waiting for our secret Santa before leaving. But ended up just setting out a treat of thanks for them. They came to the door about an hour after we left and revealed them selfs. We missed the notification and they left the gift on the porch so I called them. And they came back to get it. I was right about who it was. It was a family that I served with the mom in the stake primary years ago. And she is one of my most favorite people ever.

Leo hanging out.

Before we left we set out cookies and Mtn. Dew for Santa. I thought we had carrots but we didn't so we baby tomatoes instead.

Korbyn swimming in the wrapping paper. 
Travis got vegan candy and a wal mart gift card from Shaless' family.
I got resees, a cat hoodie and lip gloss from Eastons girls friend Sara 
Erilyn got a target gift card from Kamrins family 
Enslie got nail brushes, a cuticle set, and nail extensions from Shaless' family
And Korbyn got a puppy squishmellow holding a baseball also from Shaless' family.

Korbyn was so tired/excited he fell asleep on the floor.


Chug, chug, chug, chug!

Erilyn still had an air mattress from when London spent the night in her room Enslie decided that sounded more comfortable then the couch. So the girls set that up and Erilyn slept in her own bed.

Korbyn fell alseep on the floor in the TV room.


Our finished nativity.

Erilyns 14th birthday.

The Saturday before she had some friends over this is the snack station they set up.

We spent all morning cleaning and getting ready.



Friends presents. They decorated sugar cookies, played games, ate cake, made pizza, and just had a good time!


Sunday night London spent the night they stayed up late hanging out making memories. And set up the elf i had Enslie add some money to it as well.


Her present from mom and dad.

                                         
They wanted to go to jacknin the bax for lunch then we headed to target. They went in and shopped while I waited in the car.


They decided that target and five below weren't enough so we headed to the mall. And they recreated this picture for the 3rd year in a row.

Then decided that Applebee's was the best spot to eat dinner. Erilyn was excited for free ice-cream.

She got the present she wanted, a new tablet! Hers got dropped a few weeks ago and the screen shattered. She also got her own Google account And email. And lots of money to spend with her cousins.
