Christmas eve morning and night...

 Christmas eve morning brought gifts from grandma and grandpa Coombs. They were some of the first gifts to arrive and had been tempting us under the tree for nearly two weeks!

 Carter was very happy with some Lego game..

And Anja loves her new Fur-real kitten. It's so life-like she might stop asking for a real one, NOT.

 Then came the traditional Bywater family Christmas Eve dinner and gift exchange. We start from the youngest and work our way up. Anja loves this system...

 SOOOO happy it was Olivia's house!

 Jensen about exploded over this. Getting Haggrid's Hut here was quite the tail. It was back ordered on Lego.com until February so I sent out a text to my brother's out of state and sure enough, Mat and Kellie found one at a little obscure toy shop in downtown Portland. They saved the day and grandma and grandpa Bywater were the heroes.

 Carter liked his gift already because it was BIG...

.. and then he liked it even more because it was COOL. It's had several test runs in the snow already.

Mom and dad were happy with their 9th row tickets to Yani from us kids.
It was a great day/night.
