Christmas Eve 2008.

Christmas Eve I spent the afternoon baking. Eli had his first beater and couldn't get enough! I know, I could fill a book with how many pictures I take of him eating. We went to James' grandma Mattila's house for dinner with that side of the family. It is always a nice affair. :)

YUM.I took it away for a second...and this is the look I got.

Oh, and the pea on his nose is from the lunch I fed him right before. I love that he is crossing his eyes, watching the giant spoon go into his mouth.


Berlin with Christmas Eve dinner.



So cute with place cards and everything.




Yummy roast beef cooked by Uncle Dan.





Eli learned to levitate for christmas! Odd picture that I thought was funny. :)






YAY, we've moved the annual fireplace picture to just the great grandchildren. Us bigger kids are taking up a bit too much room now.


Berlin opening her Bitty Baby clothes from Aunt Margaret, Aunt Jo, Grandma Mattila, and families.




Elijah opening his new tool bench.


For me?!


James and I looking dorky. This was the 3rd try for a picture...


Berlin in her Christmas jammies...playing with a step that is all the rage for the kids.


Berlin and Eli, Grandma Mattila behind them watching them.


Really, what is with the step? Egan is way in the back, Grandma Mattila, Berlin, Grace, Eli, and in the back is also Grandma Polsgrove.


Egan and Eli.
