Christmas Eve Night

Carlos's family is from Colombia, South America. It is Latin tradition to open presents on Christmas Eve. Before any of us had small children we would open them at midnight but now we open them much earlier. Carlos has 3 brothers and 1 sister and they all live within 25 minutes of each other. Including his parents and grandmother who live right down the street from us. Every Christmas Eve we head to his parents house for dinner, dessert and presents. Here are a few pictures from our evening last night. Me and Selena.
My nephew Tanner.
My mother in law Myriam.

Carlos and Selena - she was so cute - when I went to pickup Selena her grandmother told me that she said, "Where is Carlos?" That's pretty good for a little one who is 1 1/2 years old :-)
My niece Brionna.

We got home from my inlaws around 11:30. The kids were taking all there goodies to their rooms and I needed to make the Breakfast Casserole to have it ready for the morning. While I was preparing it there was a knock on the door - much to our surprise a bunch of the youth from church came over to sing us some carols.

I was looking around for Sierra while the carolers were singing and I didn't see Sierra. I went upstairs to find her asleep on Taylor's bed :-)
