Christmas Eve @ GG's...

Better late than never...right? The next few posts are from our Christmas gatherings this year. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a great start to the new year! :)

Ever since I can remember we have headed over to my Grandma's house for Christmas Eve. This year wasn't any different! :) I'm so thankful that my girls have the opportunity to enjoy this tradition with their GG! :)

Emma showing off her cool "hippie" shirt from Aunt Shelley! :)

Peace Out!!

Pure excitement...little does she know..that will end up in my wallet by the end of the night!! :)

We actually took the girls to Build a Bear and they spent their $10 last night!

Emma has been asking for a Pugg Soccer goal for a while now...so has Phil! :) They are both excited to try it out in the fall!!

I always love watching my Grandma as she watches everyone open their gifts. She is one the most generous and giving people I know!!!! We love you GG!!!

Robby and his tools...

The Christmas Eve..new pajamas tradition lives on!!!

We had a new addition to our festivities this year. This is Bella, my cousins dog! She is SO cute...and tired!! :)

Christmas Morning...Just the 4 of us!

The girls left a few cookies for Santa before they went to sleep. They were excited to find a note, along with a few cookie crumbs! :)

Max...keeper of the Christmas presents!

I love this picture!!! The flash on my camera was so bright..

I could NOT get a picture with their eyes open! :)

Phil reading from the bible before we opened our gifts!

We do our stockings first...which is totally backwards in my mind! :)

Maddie would have been happy if this was her only present!! She asks me for this Hello Kitty soap EVERY TIME we go to Target!!! I'm looking forward to NOT hearing about it anymore...so it was kind of a gift for me too!! :) Thanks Santa!!! :)

She also was excited about her new soccer bag!!! We had to search all over the Internet for a purple one...who would have thought that would be so hard???

This was the one thing Emma really wanted for Christmas.

Needless to say she was VERY excited about her Three Musketeer Barbie!!!

After opening gifts..the girls started working on their cool coloring bags from Aunt Lori and Uncle Jerry!!

Phil and Emma working on one of her new Lego sets!!

Lunch @ Mimi & Pa's!!

Well...Emma's prayers were answered on Christmas Day!!! She has been praying faithfully that her tooth would fall out on Christmas, so she could sing "all I want for Christmas..." and with the help of her cousins....she had something to smile about!!! :)

Caleb and Eli

Nobody will fess' up about "how" Emma's tooth fell out...but we're pretty sure it looked something like this.... Gotta love the cousies!!! :)

After lunch we opened our stockings together...along with some gifts from Great Grandparents

Just Maddie being Maddie!! :)

Lukas is officially part of the Service Master Team!

Thanks for the scarf Grandma Kilian!!!!

Caleb got a Nintendo DS for Christmas, so the girls had to check it out!!

While everyone was in the living room playing w/ their new things...I found Allison, in the kitchen alone....enjoying dessert!!! :)

Radabaugh Christmas!!

After lunch we met up with my family for dinner and Radabaugh Christmas!!

Before we open gifts we read this cute little book called "What God wants for Christmas"

Maddie listening...and waiting patiently for presents! :)

Time to pass out presents...

My mom and I found a REALLY good deal on these little Vera Bradley purses...and the girls LOVE them!!! :)
