Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve traditions are always fun. Well I happen to have a mother who loves to plan all kinds of exciting activities whenever I happen to be in town. So since we were lucky enough to have our father home from work for a couple of days, we got busy with our "family activity wish lists." This is what we did for Christmas Eve!

We went skeet shooting. Here is Carson manning the skeet launcher at the back of our truck. He was getting pretty good!
Here's Calvin. He refused to wear pants, so when his shorts proved too cold he climbed into the truck and began entertaining himself by singing - loudly.
My mom making an attempt at the hand-launcher. This thing was entertaining, and it tended to launch them either too close, or way too high. However, It was fun to watch my mom run around with it!
Mitchell and my dad.

Blake.

Me with my gun. It was freezing, so I've got about three layers on. We had a lot of fun, especially when we decided to figure out what would happen if we threw out an unopened can of Mountain Dew and shot it! Yeah, it wasn't that exciting - we should have shook it up first - but we still thought it was hilarious. In case you guys were worried, none of us shot our eyes out!

That night we had the traditional fondu, then we stayed up way too late for Santa's liking watching The Christmas Show. Ha ha. Well hope your Christmas Eves were great!
