Merry Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas with TJ's Mom's side of the family at his Aunt Kathy's house. Her house is on Kitsap Lake and beautiful! Alyssa, TJ, Jason, Kevin, and Caleb had a brilliant idea of jumping into the lake after dinner. Mind you, it was raining and freezing cold. The best part is that TJ squeezed into his cousin Alyssa's basketball shorts. Look how tiny she is, haha!
After the shin-dig we went over to Grandma/pa Brown's house to do Christmas with just the immediate family. All the kids were excited and Sophia waited patiently for it to be her turn to open the presents.
What could it be??? I think she was the daintiest gift opener;)
The last surprise of the night was for the girls. They both got new bikes! This is Sophia's first big girl bike with training wheels. She's getting more comfortable on it everyday.
About 10pm we finally made it back to our house. Sophia set up Santa's plate of cookies, milk, and big carrots for the reindeer. And yes, they had to be big carrots! Notice the attack dog protecting Santa's plate. We got that dog during the white elephant gift exchange at Kathy's house. I think we scored!!!
Sophia took awhile to fall asleep that night, but then Santa got to work!
