Christmas Eve in Omaha

Christmas Eve was a very busy night in Omaha. We began the night at Kim's mom's house for dinner. After dinner we opened presents that we (mom and dad) gave to Mattie and Mackenzie as well as gifts to each other.



Mommy and the kids:





Kim made Mattie an apron and created her own logo (Mattie Marie's Market - quality since 2003!) and play food. Kim spent a lot of time preparing all of it for her. Grocery bags, milk bottles, cookie boxes etc. It was quite exciting for Mattie (and Kim as well):


Later in the night we went over to Kim's step-sisters house to celebrate with the rest of Kim's family. Mimi bought all 3 of her grandchildren the same Christmas dress. The 3 of them posed under the Christmas tree:
