Christmas Eve was spent with the Young side. It was a very busy day! We woke up and went to Grandma and Papa Young's house at 8:15am in our pjs and opened presents. Here is a picture of the drive to their new house...it was snowing and the trees looked so pretty! 
Grandma buys the grand kids matching pjs as a tradition every year for them to wear on Christmas. Here are K & C sporting their gingerbread pjs before we opened gifts at Grandma and Papas house.
Kaitlyn loves her cousin Quintin....she was rescuing him as he tried to climb up the stairs....and of course made time for a picture and a hug!
The 3 grandkiddos!
Helping Papa open a present!
Wouldn't you know that they had SO many presents to open and they chose to play in a cardboard box instead:)
Colin was very excited about his Smart Cycle present!
Kaitlyn loved her Bitty highchair. She had Kaylee in it and was feeding her.
Isn't he so silly! Uncle Randy was checking his new Oakley's out in Kaitlyn's Bitty Doll mirror!
Colin loves his new Illini warm up outfit from Great Papa and Great Grandma Betty(they weren't with us Christmas Eve morning because they live in San Diego)!!
Daddy was excited to get Illini gear from them too!
Kaitlyn was playing with her new Bitty Baby trundle bed. She had put her Bitty Twins, Kaylee and Connor to sleep...shhhh!!
Again...never knew a cardboard box could be SO fun!! I am bummed because I had a super cute video of Colin popping out of the box and I accidentally erased it. He would close the box lid completely and then pop out...it was hilarious!
We all went home after opening presents to give the kids naps and shower. We came back later to have dinner with the rest of the extended family. Here is Auntie Kelly and Uncle Randy.
Yes, Grandma did buy these silly(I mean cute) gingerbread and Santa aprons for her grand kids. Its tradition that she makes Christmas cookies with the grand kids and so now they have Christmas aprons to wear when they make them.
Kaitlyn smiling with Nicole(CoCo) and Danielle (DiDi).
Grandma will do anything for her grand kids!! I might get in trouble for this pic:) Poor Quintin was dressed in Kaitlyn's new tutu and Grandma was dressed up as well in a tiara and colored hair extensions:)
Grandma and Kaitlyn were having a blast dancing and entertaining us all! Even though Grandma had a broken foot and that big boot on she was a good sport and danced with all of the grand kids! Kaitlyn loves her Libby Lu dress up stuff from Aunt Shari, Uncle Jim, Nicole and Danielle. She looks a little like Britney Spears:)
Kaitlyn sprinkled hers too.
The kids were exhausted but we had to get our Santa plate ready. Grandma Willis painted us the Cookies for Santa plate and we love using it! They picked out what they wanted to fill their plate with....mini carrots(1 for each reindeer), 2 oreos and 2 M & M cookies and a big glass of milk!

The recipe is dry oatmeal and glitter:) Here is Colin sprinkling his reindeer food on the driveway.
Kaitlyn sprinkled hers too.

Before bed we got out their new Night Light Buddies from Auntie Kelly, Uncle Randy and Quintin. They are so neat! They are going to be great for the kids to take to the bathroom in the middle of the night! We are working on potty training through naps and nighttime!! Funny how they have been trained for 7 months now but cant seem to get the hang of it when they are sleeping:)
