Christmas Eve at Grandma Swank's

Side note: Is there something I'm missing here? Is there an easier way to upload picture than by doing them one at a time in groups of 5 and then having them show up on here in the wrong order with big spaces between them? Ok vent over..thank you.

On Christmas Eve, Chris had to work in the morning and he got home about 1:30 in time for me to run a few errands and get a few last minute gifts since I'd been sick. Around 5, we headed over to Grandma Swank's to have dinner and open gifts. Here are the girls with Grandma checking out the loot.

The girls' big gift was iPods (well, they were cheap MP3 players but they think they're iPods so....work with me here) They were thrilled.

Taking a little break between opening, dinner, and more opening to play some ball. It looks like it should be one of those "what is wrong with this picture" things you see in Highlights Magazine!

Carter still trying to get the hang of opening gifts

I got a Crock Pot!! And a Vacuum!!! And I was excited about it! (When I was 16, I would have shot myself thinking that in 16 years I would be excited about getting a Crock Pot and a Vacuum!)

Carter says he's done with taking pictures, thankyouverymuch!

Here is Grandma opening her "10 Things We Love About You" book that we made her on Shutterfly for Christmas. She said it was her favorite Christmas present ever! (I'll post the book too soon)

Carter's new book!
Emma modeling her new umbrella that Morgan got her! (My mom takes each girl shopping each year and lets her buy presents for each other and Chris & I...they get to pick ANYTHING they want and its usually something we'd really like! Very cute!!)

We had a wonderful time (and always do!)
