Christmas Eve

On Monday, Christmas Eve, we headed up to Kyle’s parents house for lunch with them. Sharon made an awesome meal, as always! After lunch it was present time! And Adelyn knew just what to do after lots of practice over the weekend in Omaha!

Notice her Under Armour shirt under her dress. Daddy insisted!

One thing on Adelyn’s wish list was a stool she could use in the kitchen to help Mommy or anywhere in the house. As you can tell, she loved it! She totes that thing all over the house and the handle is perfect to help her balance.

“Let me help you Aunt Laura!”

Uncle Travis got a discman from his parents. I didn’t even know they made those anymore!

All us kids went in on Kyle’s parents’ gift. We got Sharon a tablet and Jim a fancy tool…some sort of grease gun!

After all those gifts Adelyn was wore out. So I put her down for a nap, but since it was an unfamiliar place she wasn’t interested in staying down for a nap, so Mommy joined her! While we were napping the rest of the family enjoyed an afternoon of games.

Adelyn, Kyle, and I headed out late afternoon to get home, eat a quick supper, and head to Christmas Eve service at church. It is one of my favorite Christmas traditions. Adelyn was a little busy during the first half of the service, but thankfully kept quiet and finally fell asleep during communion. Usually she is in bed by 7pm!

After service we put our sweet little girl to bed and “Santa” got to work finishing up a final gift! Santa, aka Daddy, still had to put Adelyn’s new kitchen together. An hour and a half later we finally had the 1,000 {exaggerating, yes!} piece kitchen put together and ready for Christmas morning!
