Christmas with the Moss'

We usually have Christmas Eve with Grandma and Grandpa Moss, but things are a little different this year since Grandma and Grandpa are going back to North Carolina this year for Christmas to see the Kahn family and Grandma and Grandpa Byers :) So our Christmas festivities started a little earlier this year! We had a wonderful dinner followed by the Christmas story and Grandma has all the kids dress up as part of the story (which i love) Then it was off to crack open the pinata (a byers tradition that the kids adore). After all that excitement it was even more fun when the kids got to open their gifts. Topped off with some dessert it was a great night and everyone had a good time!

Grandma and Grandpa with the grandkids: Logan 3, Carson 2, Sadie 5months, Ellie 4, Hunter 11months, and Blake 5.

Mary and Joseph, and a couple of Shepard's ready to tell the story of Jesus' birth.

The highlight of night every year, the pinata! We didn't have time this year to carry out the full Byers tradition. The kids picked out the pinata locally instead of our usual trip to Olivera St. Hopefully next year, cause Matthew was sad he didn't get any taquitos :(

We had to be a little creative when came time for Carson to take a whack at the pinata. So we used Grandma Rauch's walker as a seat. Worked pretty good too!

Grandma loaded the pinata with tons of cool stuff like bubbles, money, bouncy balls, play-doh, cars, silly straws, and of course tons of candy!!

Hunter had more fun with the ribbons and boxes than he did with the actual presents, go figure huh?!

Ellie has enjoyed Christmas so much this year it has been lots of fun!

If it has wheels than Carson is happy :)

Ellie's favorite present! She could hardly wait to use it. She loves to help out in the kitchen
and cooking with Mommy and Daddy. Thanks Aunt Julie, Uncle Rich, Blake, Logan, and Sadie!
