Christmas Eve 2012

It was another great Christmas Eve. 
 We always spend it at my parent's house with Roy & Anne.  This year Erik & Lilly came too.
I forgot my camera, so these are a few picture we took with Steve's phone.
 Christmas Eve is always fun because we celebrate using a lot of  the Norwegian customs.  
Anne always makes the yummy rice pudding! Whoever gets the almond in their bowl, wins a marsipan pig.
After 14 years, Steve finally won...
He was surprised!
This year instead of the marsipan pig it was a box of chocolates!
Then Santa & his elves bring up the gifts, I think I have a video of some of this, but don't have a picture.  Sophie was freaking out...Santa isn't her favorite!  Then Bailey took off the beard to show her who he was!
Then Shelly gave all of the kids a laser flash light...
 All of the kids had a lot of fun with them!
They weren't suppose to shine other people in the eye!! 
I think Bailey was OK though!
 Zack loved his football!
 Libby got some fun things.
It was Dave's birthday & Zack made him this gift...
 He drew an elephant because it's Dave's favorite animal. 
I was amazed that he was able to draw it!
He said it was for Shelly too!
Here are a few more pictures....
Joshy, John-John & Sophie
 
 Sherry & Mark & Dora
 Roy & my Dad
 Shane & Denette, Clyde & Roanna & Amy
 Libby & Grandma
 Me & Steve
We always wait too late to get a picture with all of the kids in their new jammies, 
but here are mine & Sherry's...
 Cheesy group photo...
 Then true to form...John farted & the rest of the kids ran for their lives!
 He was left all alone on the couch!
 We then rushed home to get ready for Santa to come!!
