Christmas Eve

We were thrilled to have the whole Legendre side of the family together for Christmas Eve. Jared and Erinn were originally scheduled to be in Salt Lake with Erinn's Mom, but they were not able to get on the flight. We were sad for her, but happy to have them with us.

We all went to church together- we take up an entire pew these days - and then everyone came back to our house to eat. I did a pretty simple dinner of gumbo and heavy appetizers. 
As soon as we walked in from the church the kids all changed into Christmas pjs. So fast that I didn't even get pics of them all decked out!






Uncle Jared and Aunt Erinn decided to let the kids open their gifts on Christmas Eve. Can you tell Elise loves her fancy calculator??






Time for the babies to head back to SuSu and G's for bedtime!

Snuggling with Uncle J.

Sweet B and Aunt E.


Then it was time to head out and signal Santa and the reindeer that the Parnell kids were heading to bed!
When we went outside our friends, the Schroeders, were driving around looking at Christmas lights and so Landon jumped out and joined in on the fun!







I love the last picture...pure JOY!!! 


Which pretty much sums up the night.
