Christmas Eve

This year was my year to spend Christmas Day with my side of the family so we decided to have Aaron's sisters family over as well as his Mom and Ed on Christmas Eve to exchange gifts with each other.  I cooked us up some papa Murphy's pizza's and we hung out and exchanged gifts.  Aaron's sister, Jocie had our family and they got each of the kids an animal that you put a ball in their mouth and then squeeze the tummy and the balls fly out.  The kids digged that and I had a bunch of balls flying all over the house...fun.  They gave Aaron and I a gift card to the movies and I got some great cozy socks and Aaron got a pocket knife of some sort.  The kids then got to open up their gifts from Grandma Stewart.  They all got the same thing which was great so there wasn't any fighting.  They all got fleece pajama pants and then the boys all got squishy men and light up cars, and the girls got hair brushes and accessories with a hat and scarf. 
Grandma and Ed then opened up their gift from both of our families.  She has been wanting new seat cushions for her truck and Aaron was able to get the right ones.  Not very fun of a gift to get but she was very thankful and is excited to have Aaron put them in for her. 
We ended the night by watching the revenge of the cats and dogs (that's what the kids wanted to rent from the red box) and before bed we had Logan read us the book, Bear stays up for Christmas. 
Logan had a really hard time being able to fall asleep and Aaron had to go in and lay down next to him in order for him to finally fall asleep.  I remember and miss those Christmas Eve nights not being able to fall asleep because I was to dang excited...I felt for the kid.  Is Santa going to come?
