Christmas Eve 2014, part 1

Literally, we have 1000 pictures from Christmas Eve. Hence this is simply part 1.

It was a lazy morning, with cousin cuddles, screen time, book time, and Nativity Building!

Our candy nativity is no where near as beautiful as the one I saw on Pinterest. But I would still call it a success! Laughing and making memories is always a success.

But, I kinda think the Lego Nativities the kids made all on their own were the best.

And after lunch & naps came the traditional outside games of Kick the Can & Ollie, Ollie, Oxen free!

About 650 of the pictures from Christmas Eve are of this event. I LOVE the smiles and joy on the faces and I am willing to bet that these games will live in the memories of the cousins longer than anything else from this time together.

Get ready for some a photo extravaganza!
