Christmas Eve 2011

The traditional Jacobsen Christmas Eve dinner & program was a blast this year! With a grand total of 30 family members...Lynda, Kay, Denise, Chris, Collett, Lindsay, Kimberly, Ryan, Landon, Travis, Ashley, Christina, Kyle, Mike, Julie, Katie, Chris, Lilly, Joseph, Tiana, Stephanie, Aaron, Lori, Scott, Dougie, Preston, and our little family of four. It was a fun night filled with food, presents, games, singing Christmas songs. I love our tradtional "Program" that we do every year, this year we did 'Minute to win it' games, Christmas style!

 Christmas eve morning I was busy in the kitchen preparing for hosting my first ever Christmas dinner (all by myself!) And Kaylee was busy making Santa a present! It was the cutest thing, all on her own, she went and got all her craft supplies, made Santa a card, and wrapped it! (Bow and all!) I'm sure Santa LOVED it!

 Playin' on Grandpa's Lazyboy!

Finishing up the program, about to start the mad unwrapping of presents! In a matter of 5 minutes this room will be covered in multi-colored paper, ribbon, and bows!

 Kaylee opening her Christmas Jammies! Her face is priceless!

 Minute to win it games! Julie won! (Get the "Rudolph nose" onto your nose)

 Girls Vs. Boys, making Reindeer antlers out of a pair of nylons and balloons...boys won.

 Lance and Tiana in all their Reindeer glory!

 Kaylee wanted to try the antlers on too!

Stephanie arranging the water-filled glasses in order so that they play jingle bells! (Way harder than it looks!)
