We went back to my parents for Christmas Eve this year and the fun started on the road trip back home. While Kimber slept the entire way, I was IMing on Facebook with my entire family. Pictures where sent. Jokes were made. Status updates were given. It made the three hour trip fly by! And I had a lot of laughs along the way!!
Christmas was the usual loud/crazy time with my family! When you get that many rowdy Schuler's in a room...it's bound to get a little crazy! This year, a cool whip fight broke out somewhere between supper and gift opening!! I made sure to stay far away from it!
I gave Franny my camera at one point and when I looked back at all the pictures...it was a Little Donna show! She wanted her picture taken with everyone! I love it since we don't get to see her that often.
It took a while for Kimber to warm up to a new house and my family that she doesn't see as often, but once she did...she had a great time playing with her cousins!
Kimber has decided that she only likes Auntie Oobie every other times she sees her. Unfortunately, she liked her last time...you know what that means. Until Oobie bribed her with candy!
We had the traditional Chicken & Dumpling soup for dinner. I look forward to it every year for Christmas Eve! Also, everyone likes getting their picture taken while eating soup...or maybe not.
After supper, we opened gifts, had some drinks and then it was time to go to church. One of my favorite things about Christmas Eve is the candlelight service while singing Silent Night. This year, we opted out of holding a candle at the same time as an 18 month old...but it was still my favorite part of the service!
