One of the traditions on the Hunter side is to do the Nativity scene complete with costumes. Last year, adults participated but this year we had enough grandkids to do the whole thing.
Maia was HILARIOUS as Mary.
Joseph had a little shepherd envy. The staff was a big hit.
This costume couldn't have been more ironic. We love you Jacks!

Then, we moved to opening the classic Christmas Eve PJ's. I love how much time and effort goes into the coordination of it all. My mom rocks.
Hunter is giving Mike 'nice' where he pets your face. Where that came from, I'll never know.
You can tell this picture was taken at the end of the night. The boys are spent!
Getting all the kids to sit for a picture is quite a task. It was so fun though!
Sweet little Lainey Joyce! Mikey, however, was not so thrilled.
We went upstairs and found guest towels on the bed complete with a mint. 5 stars if you ask me! :)
Jacob and Hunter couldn't go to bed without a little snack, so here they are with their cereal looking as cute as can be!
Christmas morning: the big reveal
All of the kids loved Jake's buzz lightyear wings. I think they only caused two injuries throughout the day, pretty good considering their fame.
Hunter got to the end of his stocking and found the orange that is also a Hunter tradition. He pulled it out and said "A BALL!". I'll never live that one down.

We had Jeff and Julia this year and we got them a day of paintball. The gift certificates were pretty lame looking so I dressed them up and made a puzzle out of it. Jeff is always doing random things like that so I thought I would give him a taste of his own medicine. Maybe it will make up for the silly string he got my mom for her birthday. (If you don't know my mom, you may not find that funny but if you do, you would know that she is a clean FREAK and the kids running wild with silly string is her worst nightmare)
Hunter was being hilarious and he wanted something Jeff had so he was totally laying it on thick.
Christmas was so fun and I love getting together with everyone. We missed Jordan of course!
