Another tradition we have round these parts is going out to eat Christmas Eve. It's usually us, Mana and Karri, but this year we were lucky enough to have EVERYONE there!
We decided on Red Robin for Christmas Eve eats because we all LOVE it there.
I won't bother you with labeling every picture, because let's be honest, the 4 of you that read this know them all! :) So, just enjoy the time spent on my blog :)
Conli was quite in love with her "do"
cheese stick mishap!
fake laughs gone real
love this girl
3 of the cutest pictures ever...these one laughing
love this one too
hahahahah
hahahah!
these guys have the best faker faces ever!
And post dinner. We always head back over to Mana's for peanut butter cookie making and sugar lips.
and dad naps.
hehehehehe- only brent will get this- and he never looks at this, but oh I will make him.
i don't even know what's going on here....
sharing the sugar!
ahhhh! it's all over my hands!!!!
of course, Sawyer's part circus performer so she had to kill the time somehow:
And Finley discovered Pat's bald head this night. She woudn't leave him alone!
And Bre getting her up close and personal with the ornaments she loves
Just waiting for jammies and stocking hanging
a little dance....
sweet cheeks
Making the kids sit patiently for a picture before we bless them with Christmas Eve gifts
and then.....dun dun dun....twas time!
Beautiful new Princess jammers!
back bends of joy!
Fin was stoked until we put it on her
off!!!! off!!! Get it off I say!
please!!!!
at least they were content together with their onery selves!
so, we took it off and let her be. Then down the hall they went to collect their stockings and hang them on the mantle (another Ramey tradition)
We go youngest to oldest, so Finley came down the hall first, and I helped her hang up her stocking.
i know, lots of pictures, but she is too delicious for me to not share every step of the way :)
Jaina was protesting stockings this night. Karri tried to help her, but she ran for dear life.
well, she fell....
but got herself back up and dusted off and went on with it
Then Conli came down that run way like a cover girl!

Brent told everyone to fake trip- so max real tripped instead
then he practiced his "gagnam style" whilst sitting for a picture
It was a great night for Christmas eve. After pajama fest, we headed to our own homes to finish out the night.
Throwing out some reindeer kibble
Making sure the key was on the door.
A poster for santa from the girls
his "spot" all gussied up with donuts, cookies, chocolate milk and carrots
nestled all snug in their beds- on the floor- in the basement- threatened with death if they came upstairs :)
our middle lit tree--hahahah!!
It was all successful. Now we only had to hope the kids lasted until the morning. Last year they were up at 10:30- right after everything had been put by the tree- luckily he didn't see Santa!
