We started off Christmas Eve by attending a church in Clarkston. We then loaded everyone into a 15 passenger van for a trip to Crossroads Village. It is a old fashioned town that you can walk through and have an old fashioned experience-making candles, drinking hot chocolate and even ride a real train. On Christmas Eve they close the park and you can drive through and look at all the decorations and lights. But it is usually freezing, so we enjoyed being in the "warm" van. If you look closely you can see all the little heads from the way back!
Christmas Eve is our big present night. My Grandma Stone and Uncle Mike come for dinner and presents. We open all of the family presents. It is pretty overwhelming. This year was a little more organized doing one present at a time.
Aunt Amy and Harper
Elyse and Roy
Harper loved opening his presents. Natalie loved helping everyone, especially Harper!
Natalie was excited about her Moxie girls!
A little confused about her DVD player. Although all week she ended up watching it!
The adults watching the kids open their presents
Jasmine got a teen bible, doesn't she look excited!
Nathan loved his new video game.
Natalie liked her new bag and headphones for her DVD player
Can you believe how old Jasmine is getting? So pretty too!
I don't understand her confused look, because she asked for a Snuggie!
Poppy put Harper in the box!
Harper got a race track from Meme and Poppy. He thought it was more fun to "skate" on it.
Natalie in her new pjs.
We had to get an updated picture of the kids on the stairs. They are all in their new pjs from Meme and Poppy. This really was the best one, even though Harper's eyes were closed!
