Christmas Eve Pajama Party...

We had our annual pajama party at our house on Christmas Eve. It is sooo much fun and we really look forward to this every year! I am so glad Avery and Brody get to grow up with this tradition!

Avery getting the party started right with a few Christmas carols!
She's so happy front and center!! She loves to perform and put on shows for everyone!!
Brody had to get in on all of the fun!
Avery must have been in the other room b/c there is no way she would have willingly shared her microphone!
Mommy and her sweet boy.
Niki and Russell.
Brandi, Maleia and Dillon.
Avery watching "The Sound of Music."
Mimi and Avery. I tried to get Avery to take a picture with both of her grandma's and her grandparents but go figure she would not cooperate!
A picture Avery took of Scott and I...I think she did a pretty good job.
Brody and Paga....I'm so sad I didn't get a picture of everyone who was here. Next year that is my goal!
Avery and the Happy Birthday Jesus cake we made together!
Singing Happy Birthday to Jesus and blowing the candle out!
Sweet Avery with the cake, candy, cookies and milk we left for Santa. Brody really wanted to eat it!

Sweet, beautiful Avery!!!!
Brody refuses to look at my camera...
All I wanted was a good cute picture of Avery and Brody in their pajamas by the tree...as you can tell that never happened!

This one is the best we got! =)


Santa sent a note telling Avery that she could give Sammy one big hug and tell him goodbye! Her and Sammy have a love/hate relationship! I think a part of her was happy to see the little tattle tale go! She was really happy to give him a hug though and could not believe Santa said it was okay for her to touch him...I actually had to convince her it was okay!
Making sure our treats are just perfect!
We had a great Christmas Eve!!! I really love this time of year. We have so much to be thankful for and celebrate!

**** Also I want to add. We celebrated Christmas the week before this at my sister's new house with my dad and Cindy! We had so much fun! It was a great time together. I really wish we got to spend more family time like that more often! Holli and Brent did a great job...they had a fire going and tons of food and a pretty decorated house. Avery had a blast and loved her fat cat!! My dad and Cindy (Cici) totally spoiled all of us! They got Avery and Brody tons of toys and a stocking over flowing with stuff! They got them the cutest sleeping bags with pillows that Avery and Brody both love!!! Avery actually camped out on her floor that night with hers! I managed to leave my camera at home that night and did not get one picture! =( But, we had a great time together. I am so beyond thankful for my whole family!!!!
