Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve morning we got up and headed up to Troy, IL to have Christmas with Dave's parents and his sister's family.

Reese enjoyed being held a lot!

After lunch we opened presents.
Dane and Daddy checking out his new trucks.

More trucks!

Airplanes

Reese napping in Aunt Lisa's arms.

We left late afternoon and head back to Kirkwood for Christmas Eve Church service. Once we got to Kirkwood Dane and Reese were both sound asleep. Since we knew we had a full night ahead of us we decided to let the boys sleep. I went to church with Katie and my mom and Dave took the boys back to my parent's house for a nap.

When I got home from church they were well rested and ready for the evening.

So excited for Christmas!

Checking out his lunch bag from Aunt Janice and Uncle Chris.

A toolbox...he walks around the house saying, "Fixing mommy's house."

Hanging out with "Tay-Tay" and "Lou Lou".

Getting ready to put out cookies for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph.

Here you go Santa!

I don't think I have ever seen Dane as excited and wild as he was Christmas Eve. He just loved every second of the evening. He was ready to go to bed so Santa would come!
