Ever since we moved here five years ago Christmas Eve has been spent at Grandma Parkinson's Home. It is too hard to travel for Christmas, so we are glad to have Seth's family to celebrate with us. It usually consists of going out to Grantsville (about 45min. away), eating dinner, doing the nativity scene with all the grandkids, Grandma giving the kids pajamas, and other activities that come with celebrating the saviors birth with family. Sometimes all the extended family is there and sometimes it is a smaller group depending if it is an in law year or not. This year it was all the siblings coming together which is always fun. One of Seth's brothers did get sick this year so at the last minute they weren't able to join us. (Big Bummer). Grandma didn't disappoint with a great meal and very cute pajamas for the grandkids. We also exchanged cousin gifts and sibling gifts. It was a great evening and we had a fun time. It is always good to have a longer car ride home to try to get the kids nice and tired, but this year they were pretty hyped up. Christmas Eve is probably one of my favorite parts of Christmas and it is always fun to spend it with family.
All the kids in their pajamas!
McKenna and cousin Jocelyn looking cute. It is great for McKenna to get together with her cousins since the Bitner family (Seth's sister) has lots of girls and we are a little short in that area around her age.
Ella enjoying her gift from her cousin. Ella has lots of cousins her age and all girls, so fun!
