Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve morning, dad decided to start a new holiday tradition by taking the boys to a very special place for breakfast...
 It was the first strip to "Wa Ho" for the boys and Carter was super excited.
He really enjoyed watching all the action, looking at the pictures on the menu and chewing on his straw.  He was also a fan of the waffle and bacon.  But his favorite part of the meal was the orange juice!  As for Parker... well... he spent most of the meal like this.
After breakfast, we ran a few errands and then put the boys down for naps.  When they woke up, it was time to head to Grandmommy's for Christmas Eve dinner and presents.  Parker looked pretty similar to his earlier picture but he made sure to dress us for the occasion.
Carter had a blast opening his presents and checking out his gifts. 
 
He lost interest in the opening though once he got to some new books.  All he wanted to do was sit and read.  It's hard to be upset about that!
Carter got back in the present mood until he got to a new Elmo DVD.  He immediately made Uncle Reid watch it with him while he snacked on Chex Mix.
But soon he and Parker were back in action!
 
There were lots of gifts to open but somehow we managed ;)
We even had a close call where we lost Carter!
Whew... there he is!
Parker wanted to play the game too so Grandmommy helped him out.
It was so nice to spend a relaxing evening with Grandmommy and Uncle Reid.  We are so grateful for all the gifts!  Soon it was time to head home to prepare for the man in red's visit.  Carter didn't want to risk anyone missing his house so he made sure to spread several bags of reindeer food outside.
Let's hope it works!
