Christmas Eve and Talent Show Galore

Christmas Eve is a favorite holiday celebration for me.  I love the excitement of Christmas Day coming and the talent show tradition.  And... The Feast! Man my dad can cook!  Yu-uhm!

Then right on to the Talent show fun!  Abby whistled a song for us. :)

Jen & Heather did a cup game demo.  Super fun!

Joey showed his sword fight skills with Dave.

Dave played the trombone for us  (he just recently picked up.)  Then Abby tried to play.  :)

I juggled like an amateur.  Then Nik juggled like a complete PRO!!  :)

Then the aunts gave Abby and Joey presents!  They were tickled happy to get to open something early!  :)  Thanks you guys!  

Chrismas Eve on Natal Street

We drove up to Mesa and spent Christmas Eve with all my (Amber's) family that live up there.  We did it at Heather's cute house this time, and had a wonderful time!  

Heather arranged for us all to help make hot chocolate mallos rolled in chocolate and candy cane pieces!  Mmmm! 

My sister Heather...so gorgeous!

My daddy-o!  Passing out the presents like the good ole days. :D

My sister Jen at 7 months prego!  (so glad she was home and not in New Mexico's hospital!)

The little cleptos!  They opened presents without any of us knowing...then we didn't know who they were supposed to go to!  LOL The little stinkers!

Slap bracelet joy!

Abby, Sam & Jen.

Cute couple... Heather & her boyfriend, Bobby, next to their gorgeous tree!

Candybar game!!  

We had so much fun playing this!

Nice catch of Dave huh?  :)

Go Abby!

I love this picture!  I love my family!  I'm so grateful we got to be with them this day.  They mean the world to me, and I love being able to be with them for holidays...and well, any day I can get!  Merry Christmas!

Christmas Morn at the Core Omers

Good morning sunshine! 

The Tree all dressed up!

They were super cute with their stockings.  Joey was ready to eat anything edible, wrapper and all!

DORA.  No not Dora....DORA!!!

Surprise...not.  Dave's pretty much only Christmas present this year was his first lap top.  It's a super waited for and totally radical one too! Merry Christmas my love!

We made Dad a frame of all the Omer kids and their families to hang in his bishops office.  I think it turned out great!

If you can't tell, Mom was super surprised with her new vacuum!  I love these kind of reactions!

Dave surprised me as well...a karaoke machine!  I've wanted one of these for years, but we've always made other method suffice.  I love it and need to find more chances to use it!  So much fun!  Thank you sweetie!

The kids tore it up!

This was his super happy squinty smile! lol

Christmas Eve

I thought that little stroll up the stairs with herself was pretty cute!  

Christmas Eve PJs!   

We had a really nice spiritual part of the night where we lit candles.  It was wonderful to be with family!
