Christmas Eve

This year we were able to spend Christmas Eve at the Coons' house and enjoy the night with the extended Peirce family. It is always so much fun to see everyone and it was just as crazy as ever!
Preston is ready for dinner
Me and my cousin Jessica.
Christmas Eve to me means being with her :)Our little family
We wanted to get a picture of my grandparents and their 7 kids. It is amazing how difficult/impossible it was for 7 grown kids to sit still for a picture. This is the best one I got, hopefully there is a better one out there!
and this is the craziness of all of us trying to get them to be quiet and smile!
My mom has been hosting Christmas Eve at our house for us and her family my entire life, and beyond. She has 6 siblings and add in all their kids and it is not an easy feat. As a surprise and thank you to her my aunt and cousin got her something she's dreamed of having-her own All-Clad pan set!!!
She was thrilled and very touched.

It's a musical gears and ball toy!! Grandpa is showing Preston how it works.
This toy was so popular! We couldn't keep Tommy and the other older kids away.Preston and Cousin Kayden had matching pj's for Christmas Eve.
