Christmas Eve Brunch

For the last few years, we have gone to David and Brenda's house for a Christmas Eve Brunch. This is just our Christmas with David, Brenda, Pat, Leanne, and the boys. I made French Toast Casserole and Brenda did a yummy new recipe called Breakfast Bake(for any of you girls that get the Kraft Food and Family magazine, it is in the latest winter edition). We also had biscuits, eggs, and bacon. We ate breakfast while Edan took his morning nap. After he woke up we proceeded with opening gifts. We start from the oldest to the youngest so Eli went first:Air Jordan Shoes! Woohoo! He was super excited. For some reason these shoes were at the top of his Christmas list!! Next was Jake:
We got him a backpack bible! Jake had seen Eli's before and when Brent was around he would ask him for a bible. After Jake realized what it was he was so happy! This was his reaction:
Next, Emma:
Wow! Some zebra slippers! Aunt Leanne picked out the perfect thing for her! Next, was Max and Pappy and Granna got him a Mickey Mouse racing game. Next, was Edan:
Yay! A Sit and Cruise Musical Jungle! This was his reaction!:
We scared him when we started clapping for him! I had to take the picture! It is priceless! Jake and Eli were excited about getting the same game for their Nintendo DS's. Here they are trying to figure out their new game.:
Edan was happy after we put his toy together. It has a elephant, a monkey, and a hippo that all do different things. It plays music and he loves that!:

What a wonderful way to start out Christmas Eve morning! Eli and Emma have great grandparents and they love them so much!
