On Christmas Eve, we went to dinner at our favorite local Mexican restaurant, Celaya's, and then went to a wonderful church service, where they took the shoes off our feet to donate to charity. (We had to watch Joni to make sure she didn't steal any cute ones back out of the box) Our church was hoping to collect 4,000 pairs of shoes to donate to places across the globe to some families who had never owned a pair in their lives.
Eating Fajitas
Austin got to go on stage and sing Christmas carols with the childrenWhen we got home from church we had to bake and decorate cookies for Santa Claus! Carson was very generous with the sprinkles, which I am sure Santa enjoyed. Brian & Pops played elves, while Meme & I helped Carson in the kitchen.
Decorating Santa's cookies
Setting out cookies & milk for Santa, and carrots for the reindeer
Santa must have really liked the cookies!!
Carson loved his tractor so much he wanted to show it to the neighborhood

Time to look in the stockings
New stuff for my sewing machine (I look rough w/ no makeup)
Brian got truffles
An oldie, but goodie
Opening presents
My mother is slightly (hah!) addicted to these STOK shots that you add to coffee for more caffeine
Probably the only picture I will ever take of my mom taking a shot (we didn't have any coffee)
The boys came over to open their presents
Granny came by too!
After we had our nap, Grandma & Papa came by to celebrate Christmas with us too! We ate, watched movies, and showed them all of our new toys.
