Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve with my parents at our house, followed by 7:00 Mass.  The boys enjoyed opening their presents from Grandma and Grandpa, singing happy birthday to Ben and baby Jesus, and checking out the nativity at church.

Jack and Grandpa set up his new bridge for his trains.


Brian's "gift": a magnetic responsibility chart,
actually intended for Jack, but I like that my
parents gave it to Brian instead. 

Now we're getting somewhere!

Ben kept getting distracted from unwrapping
to play with toys he had already unwrapped.

Look, Mommy: wrapping paper!

Note the birthday shirt.

Pure joy: Ben in his new tunnel.

The Jesus Cake: Jack blew out the candle,
since Ben didn't really understand the whole process yet
and had just tipped his own candle over instead of blowing it out.

Look, Grandpa: Baby Jesus is in the manger now!
