Christmas Eve came a day early at our house due to 9am church Sunday and a desire to head to Vegas on Christmas. Luckily, our kids are young enough they had no idea and Ellie's BFF celebrated early too, so it all worked out.
Friday afternoon my sister Kim, and her kids, Chelcie, Rich, and Alex drove up to join us. They are a crazy bunch and we were glad to have them celebrate with us. That night we went out to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse and had the best ribs and steaks. I absolutely love not cooking on Christmas Eve and am glad we started that tradition a few years ago. After dinner we drove past our favorite Christmas lights at the temple, a Phineas & Ferb themed lights and music spectacular, and Sulley!!!
Kim and Chelcie made a stop by Larsen's for some shakes and we then snuggled down and watched "Santa Claus in Comin to Town." Ellie and Cooper both got to open a gift, Ellie opened a Strawberry movie from her friends Halle and Lauryn and Cooper opened a couple of shirts from his mom. He was so excited and ran around showing everyone.
Cooper kept running in and out of the group photos, it was so funny.
Then it was time to get the cookies ready for Santa and head off to bed.
The rest of us settled down and watched a little of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation before heading to bed to await Santa's visit!!!!
