Christmas Eve

Justin prefers to work the day right before a holiday just in case he can get off early without taking vacation.  Even if that means that for the rest of his family – that holiday/pre-holiday is much like any other day.  We like feeling like we’re getting a deal and working 6 hours out of 8 is apparently a bargain ;)

Anyhow, that left the kids and I at home getting ready for Christmas.  Christmas Eve always means making cookies for Santa.


We met up with Justin’s family at Ivar’s for an early dinner and to walk around the “Clam Lights”.


Back at home Justin read the story of Christ’s birth from the Hipwell family bible


Reading from the scriptures was quickly followed by dessert and then the kids were “allowed” to open just one gift.  


Drew pretty much threw aside his gift to play with the wrapping paper


Surprise!  PJ’s are always a hit!


The girls didn’t expect to have matching jammies


They were even more surprised that I’d bought a pair for myself!  

Drew didn’t want to be left out of a picture – crazy kid!

Christmas jammies for all!

Clam lights?!?! Awesome! Love the jammies, especially Drew's little rear end photobombing your picture. Adorable!
