Christmas Eve

We had a nice relaxing Christmas Eve!  After a very busy December, it was nice to finally have some family time.  Since the weather was nice, we headed to the park with Katelyn.  She had a blast on the slides, swings, and watching the ducks and flamingos!  Yes, you read that right, flamingos.

And a few of Chris trying to go down the slide...

After a good nap, we scurried off to me the Kelly's (minus Craig) for dinner at Pappasitos.  Both Erin and Katelyn were very well behaved (Merry Christmas to us) so we were able to enjoy a nice dinner and conversation.  So nice to not have to cook!

Being Christmas Eve and all, it was time to open some gifts after dinner.  When we got home, we told Katelyn it was time for gifts and she dove right in.  What a big difference from last Christmas!  Shes very delicate when opening presents.  1 little strip of paper at a time...haha.  Oh and that little strip had to be cleaned up before she would move on.  Too funny.

Once we finally got her in bed...kicking and screaming...it was time for Santa to come.  Santa and Mrs. Claus got to work putting together Katelyn's new toys.  When we were done, oops, when Santa and Mrs. Claus were done, Katelyn had a new kitchen and tri-cycle waiting under the tree for her.
