Christmas Eve with The Denks



Every year my parents take the kids the night before Christmas Eve to give us a night and day to get ready. It is such a nice break!

During our "alone" (Jessie was in tow) we had lunch at Kneaders and Mike gave me my Christmas present... a new awesome Canon camera! This was the first picture I took!



So excited for this new photography era. I am off to a slow start! So much to learn!

With my parents the kids get new jammies and have fun with movies, lots of sugar and cousins! We all meet up again Christmas Eve for a yummy Mexican Dinner and festivities.

My dad reads aloud the story of the Savior's birth and the cousins act it out. This year's new costume was Katelyn as an angel in my mom's 1977 wedding dress!


A very wise man! Handsome too!

Three "wise" Men


Katie and Matt- 1st Christmas married
Christian patiently waiting to open gifts!
The cousins had seen this HUGE present wrapped and waiting and were so excited to know what it was and it belonged to Katelyn! It was a BYU chair!

Jessie got a shopping cart and a baby!
Amanda and Robbie's little baby Lily was loving all the boxes, bows and paper!

Jessie had her baby so Crayton wanted one too. Funny how he is mimicking his mom!


It was a great evening and we were excited to get home to sleep snug in our beds
and wait for St. Nicholas to arrive!
