Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with my parents, its become a tradition to do it on Christmas Eve since Christmas day is hectic with Santa and all. My dad made a pork loin, Alicyn ate well since she knew that presents were next :). This year be brought all grandma Colorado's gifts (andUncle Jim & Aunt Marianne's) to my parents and did a two for one. Needless to say there were tons of gifts. Everyone was VERY happy with their presents. Here are our favorites....

Alicyn - Without a doubt, the DSi that Grandma Colorado gave her. She said "She's my hero". I swear she said it about 100 times. Make sure you watch the video, it's priceless!

Jaxon - Cars big wheel that Grandma & Pop got him. He can't reach the pedals yet but loves all the buttons that make noise. (Mine and Rich's favorite is the Avalanche jersey personalized with McGovern and the #10)

Laura-Polarized filter for the new camera. I am starting to get the hang of it. Runner up for me has to be the 700 thread count sheets!! I can't wait to sleep on those suckers!!!

Rich - "i don't know, I liked everything". He really liked the battery charger and elbow pads/hockey gloves.

Jaxon was all done by about 8pm, its almost like the when the clock strikes 8 he turns into a different kid. Falling down, grumpy, crying for "daaaaadeeeee" mess. While we packed up the the huge Rubbermaid tub, and a huge box of all the gifts, Jaxon melted down. He was asleep before we got home. Alicyn had a hard time going to sleep since she was so excited for Santa's arrival. After a little cuddle from mom, she was out like a light. Daddy made a last minute trip to Walgreens for stocking stuffers.

We got everything setup for Santa and were in bed about midnight.....Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

I almost forgot the coolest part about Christmas Eve, its also my grandparents wedding anniversay!!! Happy Anniversary GG & Pop Robinson!!! 61 years and counting, how cool is that!
