Dusty had to work the day before Christmas Eve & ended up getting held over the next morning so he missed out on the traditional Christmas Eve breakfast. The breakfast includes: biscuits, pancakes (this year I mixed chocolate chips in with the batter), egg scramble (lots of cheese) and of course those cute Christmas plates that Dusty and I received as a wedding gift.
And of course the traditional pictures of the kids
Christmas Eve at my mom's house
This year my mom had the kids play a game of Trouble (actually just the board game-no pieces involved). The goal of the game was to get the number 6 to win the prize. Jake won the first round and got the perfect gift. Well, in Jake's world the perfect gift... a Chocolate Milk Mixer!!! Caroline had a huge fit and wanted the entire game to herself. She actually won the second round. She won a teddy bear, but was more concerned with keeping the game to herself.
Before going to bed the boys got to open their gifts that they bought for each other. Don't you just love Jake's gift?? Can you tell from the picture what it is?? And of course, the boys left cookies, oranges, an apple & a glass of milk for Santa.
Things to remember about the kiddos from Christmas 2008
*Jake loves chocolate chip pancakes* *Cameron does not like chocolate chip pancakes*
*Caroline does not like the Christmas tree* *Caroline does not like the lights on the Christmas tree* *Caroline likes the outside Christmas lights* *Jake loves hot cocoa with marshmallows & whip cream* *Cameron does not like marshmallows with his hot cocoa. Just whip cream*
