Christmas Festivities

The Kettley Family has a Christmas Eve tradition of decorating Gingerbread houses, eating dinner, having Santa visit, and re-enacting the nativity. Ty was sick that night so missed out, but here are some pics from the evening.

Gavin chillin'

Kylie and her Gingerbread house

Gavin loved watching all the kids with Santa, but when it was his turn he didn't like it a bit.

Kylie loved sitting on Santa's lap

Kylie was the Dove and loved her costume

Gavin was going to be the Baby Jesus, but I was ready to put him to bed so he didn't get to dress up this year.

Christmas Day was really nice. We had a really relaxing and easy morning. Kylie and Gavin both loved their Santa gifts and spent a lot of time playing with them. They didn't want to open any other presents for awhile because they were just enjoying playing. It was really fun to watch.

Here they are waiting to leave the kitchen and see what gifts are waiting for them in the other room.


Kylie loved her doll house.

Gavin's alphabet train set was a huge hit.

We headed over to my parent's in the afternoon and had a really nice afternoon and evening with the family. I really love living so close to my family.
