Christmas Eve/Christmas Day

This year we kept with our tradition and went to G&G Hardy's house for Christmas Eve.

We had a yummy dinner and played the traditional white elephant game!

J loved helping everyone open all of their presents.

After the game G&G Hardy give out their gifts.

Jessie loves her doll and doll bed!

After we finished there we went to Jim & Cindy's to have Christmas with them because Jim had to work Christmas day. We all exchange our sibling gifts and Jessie gets to open her presents from G&G and her aunts and uncles! J liked opening presents and seeing what was inside. By the time we were getting done there Jessie was asking to go home. (She never does this) We figured she was tired and were hoping she would go home and go to sleep so we could play Santa.

Wrong.

We let her open her pj's and set out Santa's reeses and diet pepsi and tried to put her to bed. She was up until midnight and was wanting to play. Cody worked that day so he was tired and went to bed. I waited until she fell asleep and set out some of her gifts and would have to wait until morning for Cody to set out her bigger non wrapped presents.

We woke up about 6:45 and Jess was asleep on the couch. Cody moved her to my room so he could finish the Santa job. We were excited and tried to wake Jessie up. She wanted nothing to do with it. She wanted to lay in our bed and watch tv. She threw a fit. By this time I was getting pretty upset because this isn't how it was supposed to be! She was supposed to be so excited. After we finally got her relaxed and in the living room opening a present she started to warm up and had a lot of fun.
