'Twas the night before

We were really sad to say goodbye to Kati this year.  We had so much fun with him.  It was really nice that he left us a sweet little goodbye note and gave each of the kids a new pair of PJs to wear.  He went out with a bang with his last location.

  They loved that he wrote a letter.

Ryan & Reese received Justin Bieber PJs and Ryder had a 2 pack of Elmo jammies.  

 We went to church at 5pm and then headed to Jess & Jared's house for dinner.  The kids exchanged their gifts to each other and we were so excited to give Will his Cozy Coupe car and soccer ball.  Here is a picture that was taken of me and Cory together (which rarely happens).  Too bad I'm looking at one camera and he's looking at the other.  

These two are the best of buddies.  Ryder cries for Will and tells us, "I wanna see Wo!"

I was up until about midnight getting things ready for Santa to arrive.  I've been meaning to take photos of our tree since it's been up.  Here is one of the best shots I could get with my little camera.  Can't wait to see the kids' faces in the morning.
