We started Christmas Eve off celebrating with my husbands side of the family...

Daddy loved his new Spyder jacket...too bad the sleeves were too short!

We headed to my parents house Christmas Eve night to spend the night. The kids slept on the floor in our room in sleeping bags and loved it. {that is a tradition I had as a kid}

Then we woke up bright and early and started with these...
