Christmas Eve with Memaw and Pap

Another Christmas Eve ...... our tradition is spending it at my mom and dad's. Seventeen year tradition to be exact! Our kids always look forward to going. This year was particularly funny. As you can see, this is simply an ornery bunch ... They are all getting so big! Mom and Dad look squished under all those big little people!

The big thing is who gets to open the first present since we go around the room. Last year, we went youngest to oldest. This year, the pressure was on mom and the kids were all dying to be picked. Erica tried the whole "I'm your only granddaughter" guilt trip, Shane tried the "I'm your oldest grandson" guilt trip, etc... Logan got picked because he simply sat there and didn't try anything! So he got picked for being the quietest!!! Later in the evening, Mom said something to Shane about loving him and he said, "If you loved me, you would have picked me first!" It was so funny and witty and got a good laugh out of her!

Jack opened every box and we'd ask him what he thought it was ... he would say, "clothes, clothes, clothes!" Next year, he is going to get lots of UNDERWEAR!!!! :)
