Christmas Eve in Logan

The Sunday before Christmas
 Beau and Reid were beyond tired after church so I wasn't able to get a pic of all 4 of the boys. These two look so handsome!:)
 Daners was very excited to give me his ornament that he made at church:)

 I LOVE it Daners!!!
 We finally made it to Logan!!! After working until 3pm, Ben had the car packed and the kids ready to go. After trading off driving and the kids luckily sleeping most of the drive, we arrived at Grandma and Grandpa Bryner's house at about 4:30am Christmas Eve morning. We were EXHAUSTED to say the least, but we were so happy to be there!
SNOW!!! The kids could not get out the door fast enough to play in it!!! They wouldn't even let me put all of their snow clothes on!
 We were so excited to see everyone!!! The boys were in heaven having a snowball fight with Uncle Tom, Uncle Sam, and Aunt Emily!!!









 Tom and Dane totally won this battle

 This was Beau's first time being old enough to notice and experience the snow. He was immediately obsessed!

 We loved being back in Logan especially since it had been over a year since the last time we were there. We also loved being with the family and couldn't wait of the Christmas Eve festivities to begin!
Beau Beau could not get enough of the snow!


 Here comes Santa Claus!!!


 The kids were star struck!
 Mrs. Claus came too!

 Singin' some Christmas carols with the Claus'
 The boys could not believe their eyes!!!


Christmas baby tradition! Every one of my boys has taken their turn as the snowman:) I absolutely love this costume!!!
 

 Boy was TERRIFIED of Santa and the Mrs.
 He refused to sit on their laps and could not get away fast enough!!!


 

 Dane was a little timid at first, but loved telling Santa what he wanted for Christmas! Hotwheels sets of course! Beau started to warm up to them by giving them candy cane and gifts from under the tree:)

 More gifts from Beau!
 Reid seemed unaffected by his first meet and greet with the Claus' and more gifts from Beau were underway!


 Logi felt a little embarrassed and weird almost the whole time, but I know he loved it!
 This was everyone's reaction after he asked for a motorcycle! Hey, it doesn't hurt to ask, right?!?

 I am very awkward, but it is all in good fun:)
 More presents from Beau! Such a generous boy;)
 Beau felt like it was time to overcome his fear and sit on Santa's lap. With much help, comfort, and guidance from his favorite Uncle...
 This is the closest he got to Santa's lap! He's sitting on John's lap on top of Mrs. Claus' lap:)
 But, we'll take it!!!
 Silly goose!!!

 Almost got them all looking after MANY out takes!
 Reidy Roo's first time meeting Santa! He played it cool pretty much how he is about everything!
 Cute little dream baby:)
 Everyone got their turn to sit on Santa's lap and get a candy cane!






This is what dad gets for falling asleep early on Christmas EVE!!!
 
 The impossible task of trying to get a family pic! I love this one though:)
 WOW!!! All eyes looking forward and everyone is somewhat smiling...score!!!
 We were so happy that Julie and Chris came for Christmas Eve!!!
 Bell time!!!





 This bell stuff is serious business! Not really, but such a fun tradition!



 Just chillin'

 Time for Nativity reenactment! Such a should I say, cute wise man???;)
 Another fabulous wise man!

 Such an adorable shepherd:)
 
The cutest Mary ever!!! You get what you get! Not so PC, but that's how we roll!

 The handsome Joseph!
 Baby Jesus was not feeling his role;)


Baby Jesus insisted on sitting up to watch all of the action

 Well played, Chris the sheep!
 They should receive Oscars for their fine acting skills;)



 Mary insisted on picking his nose most of the production;)
 Still digging!

 Watch out Emily!!! That finger has a big surprise on it...eek!!!



 Love those rolls! 
 Traditional Christmas Eve PJs!
 Uncle Sam got some too!
I think Reidy Roo's PJs win the cutest award!

 He is so squishy and sweet:)


 Finishing up the Christmas Eve festivities with treats and family games
