Christmas Eve 2008

On Christmas Eve we had a nice dinner with my parents and my sister, Jacquie, and her boyfriend, Joe.  Lately, I forget to take pictures of everyone besides the kids so I have lots of pictures of Jordan and Alex but the rest of the family was there, too.  We played Bingo and then opened presents with the kids before they went to sleep.  After Jordan and Alex were asleep we played more Bingo while we waited for midnight to roll around.  At midnight we all did a toast and ate tamales.  We were also able to do video chat with my uncle in Guatemala.  It was fun!

Jordan was playing with a remote control helicopter that Papa Jack bought.  He loved to hold the remote control.  
Gamma, Jordan, (the remote control,) and Mamita
Alex and Mamita playing with maracas.
Time for presents!
Jordan did a great job opening his presents.  He was so excited to play with the toys right away.  We couldn't get them out of the boxes fast enough.  
A bowling set from Mamita!
Both boys got a set of bowling pins.  They had fun trying to knock down the pins!
...Until Jordan decided to just throw himself on the pins!
And, even more fun, playing with the box!  
He got this cool train set from Guise that he had fun pushing the buttons on.

We still think about Xmas Eve. Had sooo much fun watching the boys open their gifts. Waiting til midnight was a bit rough though. But great memories for years to come! Love the photos!

I'm so glad Jordan is feeling better and back to normal!

Bingo is so much fun!

Glad you had a merry Christmas!
