Christmas Eve

After we finished celebrating Levi's birthday we began celebrating Christmas Eve.  We read the last day of our 24 Days of Christmas book, then went down to the basement to sing lots of Christmas carols.  (I think all 12 of us singing together was my favorite part of the evening!)
We went upstairs to watch our traditional shows and found some gifts under the tree.  The Christmas Eve Elf had struck again!

All 8 of the cousins got new pj's.
(It's easier to get "silly" face shots then ones of all the kids looking and smiling at the camera at the same time, ha ha!)
 
We watched our favorite shows, The King is Born...

...and 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
 
We set out cookies and milk and a cupcake for Santa.

Then got the kids settled in for their slumber party.  Teague had planned to join the crew, but when it came time for it he decided his own bed sounded more comfy.  Levi agreed with Teague, so the other 6 started in the basement.  Hiram and Ali ended up in their own beds too, so only 4 of the 8 had the slumber party.  Visions of sugar plums would soon be dancing in their heads!
