Christmas Eve and My Sister's Engagement!

I apologize that this Christmas post is so far after Christmas.  We have been in Denver for the last 8 days and I didn't have time to put it together before we left.  I will have a few Denver posts this week as well.  Since we flew out on Christmas morning we packed all of our family celebrations into Christmas Eve...

We started off the morning with gifts and cinnamon rolls (thanks Carolyn) at Jeremy's parent's house and then proceeded to his aunt's house for an early dinner.
Notice me in the middle of this photo completely unaware of what is going on around me.  At this point you would think I would remember that his family rarely takes a normal smiling photo.

Then we proceeded to my cousin's house for another dinner with my side of the family.
This is me with my sister Kacy in the middle and my twin sister Kara on the right at my cousin's dinner.

After that we headed to my parent's house to open more presents.
We got a crock pot from my parents.  Thanks mom and dad.  I promise to try it out.

Then Kacy got a special gift from Steve and his son Rowdy.
Opening the gift.
 Kacy wondering what is in the box.
This would be when she realized it was a ring.
A shot of the pretty ring.  It was so fun to watch the engagement happen!

At the end of the night, Maleah and Rowdy put on their new Christmas pj's.  They are just so cute!
I hope your Christmas was just as fun and exciting as ours! Congratulations to Kacy, Steve, and Rowdy.  I can't wait to help with the wedding!
