Christmas Eve Fun

The Annual Kuhlman Christmas Eve celebration was again at the Solana Marriott, and we were so excited to celebrate with everyone. Lincoln was especially excited to sing Christmas carols, play with his cousins, and to open a few gifts. Linc and Daddy played catch with his new Razorback football then stopped for a picture! Thanks to the Conns for the cool Razorback football that Lincoln wouldn't let go of, and thanks to Lincoln for stopping for one second to smile!

Beau stole everyone's hearts with his big blue eyes and sweet (sometimes sly) smiles! He and Pops chilled out a bit!
Lincoln recruited Nana to play a little ball too. Another great picture! Lincoln was on his best picture-taking behavior!

Beau loved all the paper in the presents. I should also mention that Beau got the coolest gifts. Both Lincoln and Mason loved playing with Beau's baby toys!

Mason gave Lincoln a cool Monster truck that chases him around. Watch out!

The boys had Christmas cookies after dinner. Yummy!

Lincoln had been waiting all day to sing Christmas carols. Marian had a make-shift piano to accompany the vocals, and Linc was thrilled. He passed out the song books and gave the order of carols.

I love that there are Official Kuhlman Family Caroling Books! Lincoln was singing Deck the Halls (more specifically fa la la la la la la la in the picture.)


Pops needed a little help handing out more gifts, so Lincoln delivered the envelopes.

We left in good spirits, watched Linc's new Veggie Tales DVD on the way home (thanks Joanne and Larry), and made it home before anyone fell asleep! Lincoln sprinkled the reindeer food in the yard and prepared Santa's milk and cookie. He was really concerned that Beau would steal Santa's cookie and demanded that Beau get away! He knows how grabby can be!

It was a wonderful evening with the Kuhlman family. I think Santa has a few cool things to deliver for the boys. The spirit of Christmas is alive in our home, and for that I am glad. When Lincoln says his prayers these days, he adds "thank you for my Jesus." I am so glad that he's thinking about Jesus along with his presents!
