Christmas Eve '14

Christmas Eve kicked off with family bowling. We have needed new shirts for the last two years. Kaden and the minis needed shirts and James and Lynnlee grew out of their shirts. Marshall took on the job of making the shirts and I was so grateful because I did not want to do that. He ordered red shirts and then used iron-ons for our logo and such. Each shirt says Team Lowry on the front. Then on the right sleeve is the number each person is in the family.





The back is our same design and past bowling shirts.



The kids were well behaved and bowled together on the end lanes.


My Uncle Ken gives out quarters to all of the kids. There are lots of quarter machines and whoever owns them made bank off my family. The kids all ended up with lots of treasures from the quarter machines. These mustaches were some of the prizes.


After bowling we hung out at my parents house so the minis could nap and eat. This window seal is not that wide but for some reason Kaden saw it as a great place to stretch it out and relax. I guess it goes along with Kaden 2.0 .
Kaden 2.0 is a new version of Kaden but not necessarily improved. He woke up updated on Monday after his nap on the day we were going to Temple Square. I thought he was so grumpy and feisty because of not getting enough sleep. Turns out it's just the new Kaden. He has been acting the same way every day since. It includes more tantrums, melt downs, hitting, stubbornness and yelling. I hope there is a new update for Kaden 2.0 soon!


Christmas Eve night was our usual party at Grandpa and Grandma Lowry's and it never disappoints. We started off with watching Share the Gift. It is so touching and spiritual. If you haven't had a chance to see it click here.

The minis got to snuggle with cousins and Aunt Miranda and Uncle Eric.



Charley didn't disappoint with his presents. Each of my children love this part.


Even Lynnlee being so shy wasn't afraid to go get her present.

Kaden was rough as always.

Taggart wasn't so sure.

Sienna gave him a big smile.

It is funny the random things my kids say. While we were loading up the car to head home Lynnlee said, "I have bad breath." We all stopped and started laughing. I don't know where that came from.


Once home we had to sprinkle the Reindeer food that James made at school around the yard. It included oats and lots of glitter.


These kiddos always need pajamas so it's fun giving them some on Christmas Eve. The girls got matching Minnie Mouse nightgowns. The boys got matching Spiderman. They were all so excited at bedtime I didn't think they would ever fall asleep but thank goodness about 9:30 they were all asleep.
