Christmas Eve approached faster than expected. Ahwee and Ryden set out to make their famous pear pie...can't be in Tucson without doing that tradition..
We decided to attended the Christmas Eve service at the cousin's church. We got all dolled up and headed out. Of course, Trevin fell asleep about two minutes before we got there...so we made him a make-shift bed.
Sitting by Ahwee and waiting patiently for his cousins to come.
Once the music started, Sleeping Beauty was up and at 'em. It was really cute to see all the boys rocking' out to the music and holding up their pretend candles. I think they really enjoyed themselves.
After the service, the church had set up some fun activities to do....
Fake snow was falling...
"Ok guys, act like you are catching the snow..." Well played everyone, but Trevin.
One of my favorite pictures of the crew...
Time to color some ornaments and hang them on the huge Christmas tree...
Pointing to his ornament he hung
Trevino tried about four times to hang this darn ball and the hook kept falling out. I had to step in to help before a melt down happened.

Group shot!
Christmas Eve wouldn't be Christmas Eve without Billy's Soup Kitchen. So we headed home to prepare for some potato/cheese soup. We had to bust out the special napkins that Cody gave as a Christmas present many moons ago.
Let the party begin with all these fun people
Uncle Dale looking' way more interested in taking a picture than Jason's convo..ok maybe this was staged
Schweeties....
GG Pie and Aunt Chris
Me and my homegirl Emma in our fancy skirts. Gotta be as girly as we can with all these boys around!
Trying to teach Tony Jones how to be classy and drink wine instead of beer...kinda hard for this former Wild Boy.
So excited for Christmas! Geeeeee!
Went back to take a pic of the kids and this is what I got..notice Trev tackling Ryden's leg.
This year, we decided to try something different. We let all of the cousins have a slumber party together so they could all wake up at the same time and enjoy Christmas. It brought back so many memories of having slumber parties with my sisters on Christmas Eve
With the kids sound asleep, the adults watched some "Elf". Molly and Snowfy enjoyed the movie as well.
Merry Christmas Eve!
