And Finally...Christmas with The Stephens!

We spent Christmas eve and day with Jason's family this year.  We always go to Nana and Grandpa's house on Christmas Eve.  There's always a house full of family, food, and laughter.  Then we headed back to Gigi and Papa J's to spend the night, another tradition.  Uncle B, Aunt Lala, Jackson, and Colton stayed too and we had a great time setting up all the "Santa" stuff.  The kids had the best time opening gifts and playing together all morning.  Then we headed home for a quick nap and back to Gigi and Papa J's for their annual Christmas Day festivities.  They always grill delicious steaks and Jason's whole family from both sides and friends too come over.  It's always so much fun to just relax and enjoy good company!  Warning:  There are entirely too many pics in this post but I love them all.


Ella and Daddy looking for Santa on Christmas Eve.  Love the lighted helmets from Gigi and Papa!

Wow!  Santa spoiled these kiddos
J working on Griff's toy motor.  All season if you asked Griff what he wanted from Santa he would say "a toy motor with gears".  Well, Papa J was able to find a working steam engine and Griffin was in love!  This crazy kid loves machines, factories, and gears.

These are the only pics I got from the party that night.  I was looking for Ella and found her in the hallway "riding" Gigi's golden reindeer decoration!  Silly girl!
