Christmas Eve with the Carlsons

The Carlson's were so nice to extend an invitation to us again to  join them for dinner on Christmas Eve.  We had some great appetizers while the kids were busy decorating sugar cookies.  Ryan did one and decided that was enough as he didn't want to miss anytime playing with the legos.  He did eventually make it back to do a few others. Avery loved every minute of it and quickly filled up the tray!  We had a yummy dinner of stuffed peppers (well I just had the stuffing as Jennifer was nice enough to just have a bowl of stuffing since she knew I wasn't a fan).   The kids had a great time playing with Jack and Ben's new train track.  Jennifer gave us a Reindeer food before we left and Avery and Ryan scattered in our front yards.  Ryan was especially excited for Santa's visit and had lots of questions for us!
