Christmas Eve!

We did our first annual Curtis family puppet show. We had a lot of fun and hope everyone else did. It was so fun to do a show together as a family and it was especially great to get the grandkids and in-laws so involved! They did great with the quilt quartet and Nikaela did a fantastic job singing Santa Baby. Porter was still pretty shy but got out and did quite a few numbers with help. Oh and Mason LOVED it. He did NOT want to let go of his peppermint stick, he kept trying to go out and perform! Silly Mason, with the help of Daddy he was a star in Frosty Way. As we were all dancing on stage Brent held Mason up behind the curtain to do his own dance, Next year we’ll be more on top of it to get the word out and have a better date. We had a pretty good turn out though.

I have always loved the Olsen Christmas Eve tradition. We meet at Mom Olsen’s about 5pm and have a delicious dinner!! I think she made everything this year and it was superb!! THANKS! Then the kiddos go and get their costumes on for the nativity. Porter was a shepherd this year, but daddy had to help him as the shy side came out again. He was super cute though!! The story is well narrated with several songs throughout. Then it is present opening time. We got spoiled!! The boys got legos, bath toys, books, and a tent that they absolutely LOVE!! It’s always fun to see everyone open their presents! This year the adults focused on giving something that they could spend time with that person. Brent got a massage from Launi and I got a trip to ‘As you wish’ with Eric. It’ll be fun!

Our handsome little Shepherd!

Grandpa Calhoun and Mason were having a great time after the party. He seriously sat there for 10-15 mins with grandpa just talking away. That's a LONG time for a 1year old!!

Our version of the Nativity with the newest member of the family (Lacy) as baby Jesus. Yup, Porter wanted daddy to be with him.
