This may be the best picture we have ever gotten of all the kids together.
We got to the Lutz's house Sunday night. The kids got to talk to grandma and grandpa for a few minutes and scope out the gifts before going to bed. The next morning was pretty relaxing. We hung out at the Lutz's all day and at about 2 Ginger, Aaron, Brook and AJ came over. All the kids couldn't contain their excitement any longer. They needed to open gifts!
 
Caleb was excited about his Lego's and remote control cars.
 
Bryce Loved all of the Star Wars stuff he got!
Abby got new and exciting accessories for her American Girl Doll.
They also got spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa and got Kindle Fires. They love them!
Andy is checking out his new golf simulator.
 
 
Robb is also checking out his golf simulator. Now Robb and Andy don't have any excuses for bad golf games in the summer. They have all winter to practice and can even play each other on this game.
 
 
I got a Keurig coffee machine. Yum now I can have my lattes everyday.
 
We had fun playing with all of our new toys and seeing the kids have fun with all their new toys. At 5:00 we went to church. I love Christmas Eve church! Our kids are finally old enough that we can expect good behavior from them and be able to enjoy the service. It was a bit of an unorthodox service this year which I wasn't sure I would enjoy as much as the more traditional service but it kept every ones attention and was well put together. The  high school students did a spoof on the little kids Christmas play. Our kids loved it! The candle light singing is still my favorite part which they kept the same. All the kids were old enough this year to hold their own candle. I will admit I was nervous Abby was going to start her hair on fire but it went fine.
When we got back Santa had come to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Spoiled kids! After checking out what Santa had brought we ate a delicious meal and enjoyed chatting late into the evening. I love that we have family to spend the holidays with.
