Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve morning.

The crocheters as they sit by the Christmas fire.

I love slow, quiet mornings like this.
Making breakfast.

Scott wrapping his presents.  He wrote a cute note on each one, that was my favorite part.

Allison made this Santa cookie and Lillian was so happy for her success. hehehe
Grandma Susan helping DeWitt finish up his slippers while Thomas looks on.

Christmas Eve tradition with the Bigges

All of the kids waiting to go on stage for the Christmas Story Pageant

The narrator and the photographers

The audience

Yeah, time for Santa!!!!

Boy, Santa sure looks familiar.....haheeeem, DeWitt

The Evans family wanted to take a picture with Santa
Our traditional pajama bingo game.

It looks like everybody won, and got their new pjs

This year I guess was movie theme for the boys.  DeWitt is Scrooge, and Scott's shirt says, "I'd rather be in the shire."  When he first unwrapped it, Lillian looked at the words, and said "wow, is that in Finish?" and then Scott said, "no is Elvish."  "Oh wow", she said.  She totally believed him, such a funny girl.

The girlys and their pjs
The parents waiting for their kids to go to bed!!!

Ahhh.  The lone stocking,  it was a strange year indeed to have Dallin gone.  We are so happy for where he is though.

DeWitt writing his letter to Santa
This is also traditional.  Allison and Dallin have always stayed in DeWitt's room on Christmas eve night, so this is no exception, it's just one less.
Another tradition, Lillian and Polly have always stayed in either one of their rooms, played games, watch movies, and sleep on the floor.

Dad contemplating his Christmas thoughts as he writes letters to the kids......
Wow, this is what it will look like Christmas morning.  What a haul!!
