Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with the Schmid side of the family. 

The Friday before Christmas was the annual Schmid Christmas dinner which is hosted by Aunt Betty and often includes lots of extended family.  

Here Will and I are right before leaving.  Our little bun in the oven is growing, growing.

Christmas Eve morning we arrived at Miss E and Boot's house.  We kicked off the day with Ben's big gift from Miss E and Boots. Benjamin LOVED his new train table! It looks great in our game room and has already logged many hours.

Benjamin thought Will's hat was just hilarious.  

He loved exploring Miss E's house and looking at all her decorations. 

We ate lunch at the club.  I love this sweet picture of my guys.

I was trying to get a shot of Ben solo and stood him on the table. He fell mid picture taking... pretty funny. Flying reindeer. 

Ben loved all the Christmas touches the club had to offer. 

Note: He may have stole a souvenir from the tree - see his hand. :)

The lunch ended with some yummy eggnog.  Benjamin and I enjoyed the non-adult version. Ben was in heaven and couldn't resist licking his cup clean.

Getting sleepy.

So sweet. 

After a nice nap, Benjamin opened a few more gifts from the family.  Uncle Matt's Thomas the Train was a huge hit!

After presents we headed over to Aunt Lindy and Uncle Bill's house for their annual Christmas Eve dinner. Benjamin is the only kid so he got LOTS of attention.  Miss E loved showing him off.

By the end of the day my little elf was pretty sleepy. We headed home and went to bed.  

Stay tuned for Christmas with the Gibson's.
