The day before Christmas Eve was Friday, and Jeff got off at noon that day. He hurried home and we scrambled around to get every thing and every body into the car and head up to Gram & Grandpa’s house. We still had some men in our house working on the bathroom, but we had to head out… We were ready to get there and excited about family time and making dinner!
We arrived and Matthew was there waiting for us, happy to finally see his cousins! The kids took off to play and we began setting out some appetizers and snacking- Jeff and I hadn’t eaten lunch and we were starving! We got the ham put into the oven, relaxed, and chatted with Gram and Doug, who arrived shortly after we did. A few hours later, Grandpa and Jennifer arrived, and it was dinner time. We enjoyed a yummy ham dinner, with the excitement in the air that presents were next. The kids could hardly wait 
Matthew and Coleman are a couple of cool and funny little dudes. Not sure how or why they lost their shirts here…
My little silly monkey:
The time to open presents arrived and the kids tore through them in record time, of course!
Coleman wasn’t convinced that his bag was emptied out…
So he climbed inside just to make sure.
The next morning was Christmas eve, and Jeff was excited to get up and cook breakfast at his parents house. Since we’d had 2 recent gravy-failures, he recruited Gram to teach him/us how to make the perfect breakfast gravy. YUMMY!
After breakfast digested, we took Shelby, Coleman, and Matthew to the track to run wild in the cold, fresh air, while I got my exercise in. 4 miles on Christmas eve- I know, there must be something wrong with me.
We were all pretty tired, and we headed home soon after that to make it to Christmas Eve service at church, and also make sure our back yard was ready just in case Santa brought that trampoline the kids had asked for!
Shelby and Coleman had some good rest time on the way home from Pilot Point with their new neck pillows from Gram:
Thank you for a wonderful Christmas celebration Peck family!
