Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve was a little merrier than expected!  We were really looking forward to having Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Amy here, and it was made all the more sweet by their bringing Dad and Mom along with them from the airport.  We enjoyed the day relaxing and listening to Ami ask, "When will be open presents?"  Our Clark tradition is to open our gifts on Christmas Eve.  Seeing as how there were quite a few more Clarks represented this year, we opened most of the gifts Christmas Eve and saved a few for Christmas morning.

Early gifts opened Christmas Eve morning....Jeremy and Amy thought that Benjamin would appreciate having a toy that he could play with while keeping his leg propped up.  Air Swimmers!  These things are so cool.  We have two new pets in the family, a shark and a fish that are randomly seem swimming through the air waving their tails.  Lots of fun!


 


Finally time to open gifts after family photos and the reading of the Christmas story.











Lots of gifts expressing lots of love.  We are blessed with family!
