Christmas Eve

We always have so much fun with Alan's family on Christmas Eve!  The boys LOVE being at the farm! There was so much good food and we had so much fun with Aunt Linda ("Great Linda" as she is affectionately known around here), Grandpa Peterson, Aunt Danielle, Grandma Debbie, and Alan's cousins.
We played some ladderball and then got creative about how to play with them!  :)

One of the presents was a remote-controlled helicopter which was a big success.

We got rides on the 4-wheeler...seriously SO much fun!

Wii Bowling was a big hit as well.

This moose rocks and sings "Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer."  Jared quickly figured out how to turn it on.  :)  We probably heard it 100 times or more.

Here come the presents!  We were seriously spoiled this year.

Ethan got Cars 2...I was trying to capture the sheer joy he felt.  Pretty tricky, but maybe you get a taste.

He also got LSU ("tiger power") pajamas.  Ethan loves having tiger power!  :)

Aunt Danielle got him a penguin Pillow Pet.  He's been wanting one for months and months.  Again, so happy!

Jared was just as spoiled!

 Jared got a toy phone that he wouldn't put down for anything!  :)

 Jared also went around the rooms collecting phones, remote controls, etc.  He's fascinated by them!
