This year, for our pre-Christmas Eve, we gathered at Matt & Carla's house on the 23rd. Thanks to Carla and her amazing party-hosting skills, we had a fabulous dinner and tons of great activities. The children (all 19 of them!) got to partcipate in the annual nativity. Apparently Kennedy and Pieper both decided that this year was their year to be the sheep. Looks like one of them is losing their britches...
Afterwards, true to Santa's word, he made is special appearance.
Each of the children received a special gift especially from Santa...
And lucky for Jake, he got to be Santa's little helper this year.
Santa did not disappoint. He brought each of the girls a new pair of Christmas pajamas. He sure knows what they like!
The cousins also love giving and RECEIVING their gifts to and from eachother. The girls were spoiled again and received some very thoughtful gifts. Kennedy received a pretty fun mini-aquatic tank complete with two underwater frogs. I have to admit, they're pretty darn cute.
And alas, the night would not be complete without atleast TRYING to execute a picture of all the new babies born THIS YEAR. 
A huge THANK YOU to Carla for making the evening SO MUCH FUN!
