For the first time since we have been married we spent Christmas Eve at our house. With 2 kids it is just to hard to travel with all their stuff!The day consisted of Brady working half a day, Ellie and I delivering the rest of our cute neighbor gifts, and afternoon naps for both the kiddos. While the kids were snoozin, Brady and I headed out to the garage to finish up Ellie's Santa gift. We were making her a little kitchen out of an old entertainment center, well when we pulled off some of the painter's tape, half the paint came off with it. Instead of trying to fix it poorly, Brady made an executive decision to scrap the idea and head to Wal-Mart Christmas eve:( He ended up with a little kitchen (the last one) that will be fine until we can resand the old one and give it to her later.
It was then time to get ready for Christmas dinner, we invited over our friends the Brinkerfoff's. Ellie was so excited to see the girls. They didn't eat much, but they sure had fun running wild around the couch and checking to see where Santa was with Brady. We then hung out and took a few family pics around the tree.

After the Brinkerhoff's left we opened our Christmas eve presents, which included SURPRISE pajamas.The whole family then climbed into bed to watch the animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas (that Brady so kindly picked up at Wl-Mart that day). Cooper was a party pooper and fell asleep in the middle, then it was off to bed for Ellie, so Santa's little elves could get busy putting together a kitchen!!
We sure missed our families, but it was nice to start a few traditions of our own! Maybe next year we will have a few visitors come and stay with us:)
