Christmas Eve on the Farm


I have so many pictures from Christmas that I feel the need to separate my posts...so bare with me...again.  On Christmas Eve morning we headed up to Newcastle and spent the day on the farm with Jason's family.  Lily and Avery were so excited to see their cousins and of course Grandma and Grandpa.  We got up there around 11:30 and made it back home around 7:30pm.  It was a quick, but good trip.  We enjoyed some yummy Lasagna for lunch and the girls had a ball playing with their cousins.  It was unusually nice out so Lily even got to play outside for a while.  This has obviously been the most fun year as watching Lily get into the Christmas spirit.  She was so excited to open up gifts, but she also talked about how it was Jesus birthday.  Of course she couldn't wait for Santa to come, but she is also starting to understand a little bit about the true meaning of Christmas.  Avery was napping during the gift opening, so she got to open hers up all by herself and one right after another.  Lily was a little impatient during gifts.  Each child got to open up one present at a time and then go around and let everyone else open one up.  Lily didn't like this, but it all turned out okay.  She was thrilled with all of her gifts...especially her Disney Princess and Barbie ones!
