Christmas Eve part 1

On Thursday I only had to work half day. We had Liam and Elliott over to play (Christian had mouth surgery the day before and had to take it easy). I love Tiffany's kids like my own - it's always fun to have them over. Elliott is one of the most self sufficient kids I know. That kid can do anything! Later Kalani and Kahea came over with Pono and Ashton. Pono quickly made himself at home and watched a movie with Elliott and Evan. Kahea brought me treats and Kalani helped me with my computer. I am lucky to have them as friends.The next day was Christmas Eve. I spent the morning with Tiffany, Holly, Tayler and Phoebe at Anthro in Scottsdale. It was so much fun.

Later (after some last minute shopping and baking cookies for Santa) I took the boys to my mom and dads.

This was the first face I saw:
I'm sure you all know how much I love Ruby. I keep trying to steal her but Darrel and Trina won't let me!

Evan has to hold Ruby every time he sees her. She loves it.

There was plenty of food and treats at grandma and grandpa's. Notice the hat Max is wearing. He cut his forehead and was so worried someone would ask him about it so he's been wearing hats. The kid is so weird.


We hung out and watched cheesy Christmas movies.
Ian showed up around 5:30. The earliest EVER! He never gets home on Christmas Eve before 7. Then we let the kids open one gift at my mom's. It's always a blanket.
Rowan was hilarious. He got a Spiderman blanket. He LOVED it. Like LOVE, LOVE, LOVED! it. He kept giggling and looking at it.

Evan got a Toy Story blanket. Perfect. He never goes anywhere without his Woody doll. And now he takes his blanket everywhere too!
Ben and Max cuddling up in their blankets. I don't have any pictures of Xander because he yelled at me and I sent him home. He is so frustrating. Let me tell you having an (almost) teenager is 1,000 times harder than having an infant. Seriously, it's mentally draining.

I can't believe I didn't get a picture of Addy and her blanket. I'm a slacker. Ruby got a Tinkerbell blanket and she loved it.

More on Christmas Eve later...
