We started it off with a trip to Outback Steakhouse for dinner with the Buskirks. Andrew loved seeing the girls, especially Leah. I loved that I got to eat french fries AND a baked potato.

After dinner we drove around and checked out the lights in the neighborhood and then we headed back to Shari's house for a little present opening.
Andrew loved his new hoop. Check out that form! I see a little MJ in there... don't you? (esp after I post a video clip of his skills in my next post)
Kevin and I loved the basketball hoop as much as Andrew did... I see a few 1 on 1 mom vs dad games in our future.
After a great evening with Shari, we headed back to the Smith Casa for some Christmas Eve fun before the kids hit the sack.
G&G with the grandkids...

Elise & Maddie
Baby Santa with Grandma... isn't Maddie so cute?? I love it that she smiles so big when she sees me because she thinks I am her mom.
We read a few stories for our brief Christmas program. Aunt Jess took some liberties and did a great modified version of "The Littlest Angel." She got Andrew's attention for a few seconds, which we considered a success. Grandma talked about a cute story called "Penny's Christmas Jar Miracle." Andrew proceeded to yell "MONEY!!" sporadically throughout the rest of the evening.
Then we took a few family photos and talked about some Christmas memories. The little guys didn't really cooperate for the pictures, but they still looked really cute.

We ended the night with some Sub for Santa delivering.
Dan got to do the door bell ditching this year.

As usual, the day ended with a late-night Christmas present wrapping party in our room followed by a K&K Christmas Eve reading of Luke 2. We finally made it to bed around 2am and little man decided he was really excited about Christmas and woke up at 4:15am and then again at 7:40am (too early for me!!).
The day was great and we love having our family so close together so we can see them all when we visit!
