Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we spent at my parents house with the extended family. Kaitlyn dressed up Kaylee in her fancy clothes and was ready to go! Kelly, Randy, Quintin and Zachary
As you can tell I am not a red person:) Nicole(aka Coco) and Zachary (aka Moose)

Coco is SO much fun to play with! She played dress up with all of the kids!

Mom and Aunt Shari with their famous green apple martinis!
Cam broke my moms good silverware! Whoops! How do you break a knife in half?!?! Dont ask! We laughed SO hard!

Thanks Aunt Shari and Uncle Jim for our Wii writing pad game!!
Thanks Uncle Jim for our Sonic Care kids toothbrush. Good thing he is our dentist and helps keep our teeth clean!!
The Young families best gift of 2010♥

Our family is growing for sure! We added 2 stockings this year for Billy's girlfriend Lauren and baby Zachary! My parents now have 12 stockings at their house:) We met the night before Christmas Eve to open gifts.

Playdate Fun!

The kids have enjoyed playing with lots of friends over the last few weeks! Before Christmas we babysat Hailey and Ashleigh. Hailey is in the kids class. The kids had a fun day! Here are the girls playing dress up:) The kids worked on crafts!
How cute is Ash's smile?!
Reindeer's!
After Christmas the kids had Coco and Ryan over from their class. They had such a great time playing together!
They played lots of Legos!

K & C were excited to have Coco and Ryan over for lunch too!

Another day of break they had Mia from their class come over. The 3 kids played so well and had a great time!
Tangled Tower!
They played house:) I went down to check on them and found this....they were all pretending to sleep while playing house:) Too cute! They really enjoy having friends over!!

Harvey/Willis Christmas

We love celebrating Christmas with the Harveys every year! The kids were so excited to run home and get in their pjs for our fun night out. Little did they know that "Elfie" their Elf on The Shelf would have a surprise for them. He brought them matching pj's all the way from California! They were from their Great Papa and Great Grandma Betty! The kids were in shock that Elfie could bring them a present from so far away! They love their new pjs! Thanks Great Papa and Great Grandma Betty!

We always go to Portillos for dinner with the Harveys (yes the kids go in their pjs) and then we go thru the Vernon Hills Light show. I have been going for about 12+ years! Now we made it a tradition with our own kids.

Kelly & Randy so the same thing with their best friends. Guess who was there while we were doing the same thing?? Quintin and Zachary:) And they had their matching pjs on too!
This year we exchanged books!
Thanks Auntie Kristina, Uncle Brandon, Madi and Makenna for our new books! We ♥ them!

Getting ready to drive thru the light show!


The kids love finding the hidden snowmen throughout the light show! We had a great night and love our tradition we started with the Harveys!!
