We always celebrate Christmas Eve at my parent's house with my Dad's Brother & his family.
My dad actually came to America from Norway when he was 6 years old, so we have always celebrated with Norwegian Christmas customs.
This is my Uncle Roy, Aunt Anne, Cousin Erik & his daughter Lilly.
My aunt always brings the desserts, which always includes rice pudding with raspberry sauce...whoever gets the almond in their pudding wins the marsipan pig. My sister Sherry was the lucky winner this year!
Since I was little Santa & his elf helpers passed out the presents. We always sing her comes Santa Clause & he knocks at the door. My kids got to play the parts this year.
Libby
Jazzy & Zack were the reindeer helpers this year!
Sophie LOVED Santa...
I think she new it was her favorite sister, Libby!
She is such a happy baby...we can't get enough of her smiles & growls!
I think Bailey & Dallin liked their new combs...
Steve & Zack
Best buds...Shelly & Tyler
We always eat our yummy dinner & hang out.
Dad, Shane & Denette
We also celebrate Dave's birthday each Christmas Eve.
Happy Birthday Dave!
When we asked how old he was this year he replied, " 18 forever!"
Then the kids all get to open a gift from their parents...new pajamas.

A little joking around...
