Christmas Eve... I think it just might be the funnest day of the whole entire year... with the exception of Mother's Day, of course! My kids woke up with so much excitement that I thought they might burst. Especially Kyler! In order to keep the sanity at a reasonable level, we started partying at noon. We had to keep those kids busy!
Somehow our plastic, dollar store goblets make any celebration extra "sh-mancy" and special. Since Grandma Stevens hosts a fun Christmas Eve dinner every year, I always try to make a fun, festive lunch. As you can see, Kyler was really on one that day. He looks like a mad man in almost every single one of these photos!
We have a tradition of everyone one pronouncing a Christmas toast. Yes, I know this a drinking tradition, but my kids think it's super cool. They could clink those glasses together all day long! I think Justin's toast went something like...
"Here's to a very Merry Chirstmas & Good riddance 2011!"
I concur!
I purposefully planned a "Gingerbread" themed day to go along with the kid's Christmas Eve gift. I had been saving this kit all month long... they were so happy to finally make it! (Oh Kyler...)
Next up, gingerbread-shaped sugar cookies for Santa!
(Ky--you're killing me.)

Ashton thoroughly enjoyed this activity... especially the eating part!
This picture reminds of Grandpa Stevens.
Looks like "frosting love" runs in the family.
After hours of begging, I relented and let the kids open their Christmas Eve jammies at 3:30 p.m. No, it wasn't even close to dark yet, but I couldn't hold them off any longer. I was a little nervous that they might not like them, but they were so hyped up, I think I could have given them rags and they would have been thrilled! They love their annual Christmas jams! Super sad note: I think this will be the last year for them to have matching pajamas... sniff, sniff. Kenna's sadly officially in Gymboree's largest size. BOO HOOOOO!!!
(Give me a moment.)
Alright, I'm okay.
Now, prepare yourself for a seriously silly P.J. photo shoot:
Are you confused? They're trying to be gingerbread men.
Ash, however, had no idea what that meant obviously!
Really Kyler? This could've been the cutest photo ever! (Sigh.)
I don't know... I think they're excited!
Tune it later for the funniest Christmas Eve Nativity ever.

So funny! I love Christmas Eve jammies and so do my kids.... I think it's my favorite part of Christmas, well one of them! I'm not into the matching ones though, I like to pick ones that match their personalities - trust me, you'll love it! They are cute though, you did well. Kyler is a riot in these photos!
These pictures are priceless! It will make you remember how excited they were that day! Your kids are too cute!
