Christmas Eve was a pretty great day. We pretty much hung around for most of the day. We had Uncle Duncan at our house so that was fun. Emery really loves Uncle Duncan. In fact, I was showing her pictures of her uncles and she said "yeah...I don't like that guy because I don't like boys." Then I said to her "yes you do! Remember Uncle Duncan? You love him!" Then she paused and said "Oh yeah! I DO like boys!" ha ha Silly girl. She really does say the funniest things...that is when she isn't throwing a tantrum or screaming about something else. Ha ha. Crys and Alan came over for dinner and brought all the stuff to make cheese and chocolate Fondue. I mean they thought of everything. Chicken, beef, tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, bread, mushrooms, cream puffs, strawberries, marshmallows and bananas. YUM. The cheese fondue was so delicious even though the cheese cooled down really fast because we didn't have a real fondue pot. So we just took some and put it on our plate and did it that way. It was so yummy. In fact, it was so yummy that we all ate too much of it and didn't actually get to making the chocolate fondue. hah!
After dinner, we opened our Elf chart gifts. The elves are pretty smart because they even left something for Crys, Alan and Duncan! Fun! Crys and Alan and Duncan stayed home with Riley while the rest of us went out to look at Christmas lights after that. The kids were oooing and ahhhing until one time Zac said "wow wow holy cow!" Then the rest of the trip the kids repeated that phrase every time they saw a house with lights. Then we got a phone call that Riley was losing it, so we headed home.
Riley really is such a happy baby. We love her so much!
And she puts up with lots of smothering from the other kids. Here they were putting bean bags on her head. :)

Everyone else.
Then Sadie showed off how flexible she is. Foot behind her head and standing up. Pretty talented!
Ready to open the elf gifts!
So much excitement!
We all got new Christmas socks from the elves. And toothbrushes of course!
