I love Christmas Eve. I love the hustle and bustle that precedes it, and I love the chaos that follows my spiritual message. This year, I passed up the starfish story and the X-Mas story for “Footprints”. It was a hit! Afterwards, we did the family present exchange, which included everyone this year.
All of my kids scored rad presents, and loved giving their gifts even more than getting anything.
My dad had me, and wrapped in his classic way!
So I returned the favor, because I had him!
His season tickets to BYU volleyball games were a nice surprise — out of this UPS envelope they came in!

My favorite part of the night, was when I got to give the PJ’s to the family.
I was so excited about them.
I figured that since my kids almost always end up in one of Daddy’s T-shirts, why not create a family T shirt for their PJ’s.
So I included camping, fishing, CTRing, saving, Chinese, traveling, water sports, piano, shells, hammocking, a picture of each of us doing something we love, a home with Nonnie’s big heart, and even a little baby’s footprint for our little Skip-Doc.
Sweet Dreams…
Then the boys headed for milkshakes, and the girls and I created this masterpiece.
Santa was really sneaky, but luckily we snapped a photo of him to show the kids in the morning.
This year, we named the tree appropriately.
And Megan did not disappoint with the stocking stuffers. When she saw our stockings, she almost keeled over at how huge they were. I told her she should just stuff the whole bottom with paper, but she assured me that she had plenty to fill them. And did you notice….there is now a stocking for Blush!
Meegs — you are insane!
