Christmas Eve is usually held at Grandma Myers house. She was just not feeling up to it this year so they asked us if we would mind hosting. We were happy to do it. Jason and Denise and kids, Jed and Robin and kids, Kathy and Lucas and Alan and Kristen and her kids were our guests. We had appetizers and desserts and the kids played games. Jed read the Christmas story and then we all just mingled. All in all it was a nice night.
A little birdie flew into the house and couldn't find it's way out. Trenton thought he would take the matter into his own hands and take care of it. He grabbed his bow and arrow and went a hunting. The little bird flew all over the house and finally ended up in his bedroom. Jared grabbed Trent's bb gun and shut it in his bathroom and killed it. Trenton was so mad because he wanted to be the one to shoot it with his bow. I am sure their will be plenty more birds to shoot. Poor guy. He looks so sad.
Kristin wanted the whole family to get together and get family pictures so we all met down at the church gave it a shot.
I decided that it would be fun to have my cousins that lived in the area over for a casual Christmas party. Emily and Layne and their kids, Jeff, Jackie and kids, Spencer and Jamie and kids, Morgan Cleaver and Chris and Chelsey Mendez were our guests. It was fun. We played games and had desserts and appetizers. The kids had fun playing card games at the kitchen table. I need to get better at taking more pictures. We really need to get together more often with family that lives so close.
I think these are two of my favorite little boys. Look how cute they are. Trenton is so happy to have a brother...even if he is 7 years younger than him. I found one of Trent's baseball caps and rubber boots from when he was about Cael's age...about 6 months old. Too cute!
I got the kids all matching outfits and decided to try and get a few snapshots for a cute Christmas card. They were good sports about it. Love those kids.
