Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

We spent Christmas Eve with Alyssa's side of the family.  Both Luke and Eva got to be angels as a part of the church service we attended.  Eva actually made it through the entire service because she was able to sit on at least 6 different laps.  After a nice dinner we then got to open presents.  Luke favorite present of the night was the new Hot Wheels track and accessories.  Eva's favorite was definitely her baby stroller. 

Christmas Day we traveled to be with my family in the afternoon.  We had great food and opened gifts.  Luke's favorite presents were his puzzle map of the United states, bird feeder, and first official calculator (because he can make big numbers).  Eva loved her Mickey Mouse and pink dump truck.

I enjoyed five days of vacation to spend with my wife and kids.  This year both kids were excited for Christmas and somehow it made everything more fun.  We are lucky to have most of our family close that we can share the time with both families.
