Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

On Christmas Eve we had an elaborate dinner consisting of a rotisserie chicken from Wal-Mart, gravy, corn, and grapes. The girls wanted to start a tradition of eating it on the floor in front of the fire. How could we resist that?
After dinner they were dying to open a present so they each opened one. Our neighbor from church brought us over some home baked cookies.

Our tree on Christmas morning!


McKenna opening her presents....a new leotard!


Kelly with her new Leapster!


Camille loves her new Dora couch...can you tell?


For Christmas dinner we got together at our house with 2 families from our ward. The Youngs have 3 girls and the Lunts have 2 girls and one boy so there were 8 girls and 1 boy. They had a blast putting on shows and singing for us. We enjoyed a great meal of ham, potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, rolls, whipped jello, green bean casserole, and martinelli's.
To finish the night off we had chocolate cream peanut butter pie, key lime cheesecake, lemon bars, and apple pie. I was full!
It was nice to spend the evening with friends and family!

Looks like all had fun.
Daring with dinner on floor, with Ashlee the carpet would be ruined.
