Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is always split between my family and Regan's family. We started out by going to Alvin & the Chipmunks with the kids and they LOVED it! We are very lucky to have 3 kids who actually sit and watch a movie {granted, they HAVE to have treats, popcorn and a drink and Elle is strapped into her carseat!}
We then went to my parents house and had the traditional Anderson Family Talent Show and the Nativity. Riley was a wiseman, Sunny a Sheep and Elle a shepherd. For the Fackrell Family Talent, we all played Jingle Bells on our violins and Elle rang the jingle bells. I taught Regan how to play it that day, Riley already knew it, and Sunny played an open string! I was pretty impressed by the way it went!

Afterwards, we went to the Groves Christmas Even in South Jordan. There, the kids were able to hit the pinata and sit on Santa's lap for a present! Let's just say that Elle wanted NO part of that! She screamed her head off UNTIL she saw what he had given her-a baby alive doll of her very own! She stopped crying and started giving it loves and hugs! It was seriously the cutest thing to see how excited a baby can get!
