Oliver Christmas/ sleepover party! (Part 1)

We headed out to the farm on Christmas eve for supper. We spent the evening eating delicious food, visiting and enjoying the kids play so well together. Once we put the kids to bed (11:30pm), we broke out the games and some of us (Glenn and Morgan) lasted until 5 am!!

Watching their emails from Santa. Ezra, Sawyer and Ryder all received a video from Santa. They were all on the nice list, phewf! Cooper and Mckenzie received phone calls from Santa, their reactions were so fun to watch.
