Was fabulous! When we were little we had a family tradition of opening one present the night before Christmas. Most times it was a pair of pj’s. We continued this tradition with Shenzie and Heaten and gave them their Christmas Pj’s which were the CUTEST pair of Curious George Pj’s just in time for the pj party.

We started off our Christmas on Christmas Eve for a pj party at Grandma’s. The twinzies had tons of fun with all of their cousins, running, screaming, yelling, wrestling, hugging, and dancing.

We even had a visit from a very special Old Man (aka Uncle Levi). =) As you can see Heaten didn’t care for him AT ALL. At first Shenzie was like NOOOOOOOO, but she soon warmed up to old Santa and even gave him a kiss. =)

There was tons of YUMMY food, birthday cake for Uncle Dave, Grandpa, and me, pies, cinnamon rolls, and lots of other yummy goodies.

The kids decorated cookies, decorated Grandma and Grandpa’s tree, and had a grand old time together. And then came the presents which of course were a hit! All of the kids draw names so cousins Trever and Ethan got Shenzie and Heaten new scooters!! Transformers for Heaten (which he lugged around for part of the night) and of course pink princess for Shenzie, which she LOVES.

Thank you family for a wonderful, fun, LOUD, Christmas and birthday!!!

We are starting a Barr Family Christmas Tradition where the kids each pick out a present for one another and get to give them on Christmas Eve (this year was Sock Monkeys picked out by Daddy since Mama dropped the ball). I anticipate next year will be SO FUN with the picking and giving. This year it was fun for Daddy and me, but I don’t think Heaten half heatedly throwing Shenzie’s monkey at her counts as giving. =) After the twinzies went to bed Jeff and I had our gift and stocking exchange and had a little Christmas Eve Movie Night. It was a wonderful Christmas Eve with my favorite people.
