Christmas Eve

We love Christmas Eve with the Cardon cousins, and this year lived up to all our expectations.
There was a tense moment for Gavin in the morning when the snow started falling and the wind was blowing hard, and he worried that they wouldn't be able to make it to your house. Luckily, they arrived without isssue.
We went to work on our of or festive plans, including the cookie decorating for Santa.
Henry, Libbie and Mallory getting to work.
 Mia and Gavin are always fairly meticulous in their art and cookie are no exception to that rule.
Mallory was by far the most detailed, adding little eyes and buttons to her creations, made from tiny sprinkles.
 Stacy brought some Christmas minute-to-win-it games for the kids. They all had fun trying them out, tho I only got pictures of Jaren and Wyatt playing the stacking game, 2 year old style.
 Finn was not in a great mood, despite the good company, but Aunt Stacy was the baby whisperer for awhile. She even kept him happy while listen to Claire tell her a story about something.
 Then, of course, came the annual opening of Christmas Pajamas. Everyone loved this.
 Especially Wyatt. He was still a bit confused about why they were in a circle holding presents, but that all changed when he pulled out Angry Birds pants.
 Just a funny little shot of all the Cardon boys. We forgot to send Stacy the blue pjs memo for this year, but Jaren is the most Christmasy of all.
