Christmas Eve

Here are some photos from Christmas Eve. We went to the 4 o'clock church service and then back to my parents for a wonderful dinner and then it was time to open presents. Riley had been asking all day when it was time. This photo actually has all four kids in it but not very good shots of Trent or Riley.

Here is Riley opening up some new Hot Wheels from Grandma and Grandpa.

Here the kids are just opening their gifts from Brad and Katie.

My grandpa and his girlfriend, Cornelia, come over on Christmas Eve and here is a photo of them.

On Christmas Eve morning, we realized that we had never even had the kids' photo taken with Santa this year. We decided to head over to the Fox River Mall that morning and get a quick shot with Santa. Riley ran right to him but Brooke was more timid but still managed a half-smile for the photo. After visiting Santa, we walked around the mall a little, fed the kids lunch there and then let them run around the indoor playground there. It was a fun morning!
