Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve morning, we went over to Crystal and Grant's and enjoyed a delicious big hot breakfast before the playing with Avery and Hannah began.

GiGi with silly Avery!

Avery and Hannah really like drawing on their new easel from Aunt Tafanie and Uncle Cory.

Mommy likes drawing on it too!

This Christmas has been unseasonably warm with lots and lots of rain.  Avery wished it would stop raining.  Turn up your volume and watch:

On Christmas Eve afternoon, Pa was really tired from all his driving the day before and laid down on the couch to take a little nap.  Isn't he cute sleeping in his little tutu?  :)  (I sneaked up and laid Avery's princess dress on top of him while he was sleeping.)

It was raining so much, that Crystal had to open one of her Christmas presents early:  new rain boots!

We attended a beautiful Christmas Eve service at All Souls Fellowship where both the Robinsons and the Van Wyngardens worship and enjoyed singing lots of Christmas carols with  everyone there celebrating Jesus' birth.  Thankfully, the rain had let up by the time the service was over and we were walking back to our cars.

My favorite mama and my favorite man!  :)

When we returned to Crystal and Grant's, we enjoyed some Christmas Eve snacking and watching one of our favorite Christmas movies:  Elf.  After Avery and Hannah had been tucked in their beds, the elves came out to begin wrapping Christmas presents...

...and assembling dollhouses.  Hmmm.  I don't know if Elf Grant will be able to get this dollhouse assembled before Christmas morning.

Elf Grant was still working on the dollhouse as we left to go back to the motorhome but he had it completed well in time for Christmas morning.
