Christmas Eve (aka get your bowl on)

For Christmas Eve we always go bowling with Eric's family. We all go once a year, so we're usually pretty fabulous. I think I bowled somewhere around 60 on our first game. I know you're impressed. I redeemed myself the second game and bowled 132. I was ahead of Eric for almost the entire game, but he beat me by 7 points. The secret is "speed bowling". We didn't have much time left (we paid for an hour) and had to bowl fast. We did end up getting an extension for the last frame. So here's my professional bowling tip... just go FAST.

Eric has great form. I guess. I don't know much about bowling.

Kaylin and Ryanne took a reading break.

Grandpa loves to play with Bratz dolls.

Kaylin bowled a few frames too. She LOVED it.

After bowling we went to Eric's parents for dinner (potato soup, YUM!), a reading of the Christmas story in Luke, and some musical performances. Then it was time for the presents.

Kaylin was thrilled with her Fancy Nancy book from Aunt Carly and Uncle Parker.

Yea! Clothes! (That's my excitement, not necessarily Kaylin's :-).)

Lauren enjoyed hanging out with Grammy and our friend Taylor.

Once again, another wonderful Christmas Eve. Thanks everyone!
