Christmas Eve

Since Christmas Eve was on a Sunday this year, we had our usual Christmas Eve celebrations with extended family on Saturday!  

Hayes Family Skate Party!
Soph started out the day feeling yucky, so she hung out under the usual sick table - I swear every year one of our kids is crashed under there!  Tummy ache and blahs - but a little later she perked up enough to skate around a couple times.



The kids love playing on the blow up jump toys.  They always leave all sweaty and tired!  It's perfect!












Traditional Hokey Pokey!

Lolee and Kaley with Grandma Hayes

Putnam Family Fun!
We went to the church to decorate gingerbread houses, play basketball, do a service project and have fun!  










Then we took the Trax downtown to see Temple Square and the lights!  Sawyer was cracking us up!  He was SO worried that if we stepped on the yellow part the train would run us over!  He keeps everyone in line!















Actual Christmas Eve
Sunday was a lovely Christmas Eve!  We only had sacrament meeting that day, so we were home early with the whole day to enjoy each other!  I made the kids each a blanket for Christmas Eve this year.  I LOVE how they turned out!  They loved them too - they go everywhere with us!

 We got in the hot tub and made reindeer food!

After spreading our reindeer food, it was time for bed!  Notice that there was NO snow on the ground!  It was crazy how little snow we got this Winter!
