As a side note, Kyson brought this cute ornament home for Christmas. I must say, I've been super impressed with all their little crafts they've done this year in kindergarten. I love the Santa hand! It's a keeper. Now back to Christmas Eve.....
We spent Christmas Eve in Angels Camp this year. The kids planned a whole evening for everyone. We started with invitations to a Christmas Concert. Lexi and I played a duet of Jingle Bells with the violin and piano. After that, we had a couple of Christmas primary songs. Kyson even had his first solo! He wanted a special part, so he got it. I have no pictures as proof because I was busy playing the piano and I guess no one else thought of snapping a shot.....
After the concert, we read the Christmas story in Luke while the kids acted it out. It was sweet and fun and everyone loved it.
We rounded out the night by heading over to the neighbors house. They had a special project for Kyson again. It was his duty to put baby Jesus in the manger. This will be Kyson's last year because next year the duty gets moved to Shayli!
Kyson took his job very seriously. Then it was off to Gamie's house for our special Christmas Eve hot chocolate and then to bed!
We stayed over night and had Christmas morning in Angels Camp. The kids woke up bright and early! In fact, Kyson was up at 3:30 ready to go eat breakfast. I told him no. He was asking again at 4:30. And again at 5:15. At 6:00, I finally went downstairs and grabbed him a banana. And then it was dozing until 7:00 when we told the kids they could finally get up. Talk about a sleepless night!
Ryan was able to catch up on his sleep......
Although I'm not sure he even knew Kyson was awake so many times.
The kids had fun opening their presents.
One of Kendri's favorite gifts.....her own pack of double-stuffed Oreo's!
And of course, Kyson tormented everyone with yet another nerf gun.
After presents, we waited for the cousins to show up for the afternoon. We had a great time! Merry Christmas!
