Christmas Eve is a big deal at the Meyer home. Hansi's family incorporated the German tradition of opening all the gifts from eachother on Christmas Eve. I really enjoy the tradition as I feel it spaces out all the present opening. As many of you know, Christmas is my favorite holiday, so any way to space it out works for me. Hansi and I will be including this tradition into our own family. It really was a fun night with LOTS of presents. As you can see from the picture, all the presents didn't even fit under the tree. Then after Santa came the next morning, there was a whole batch more. Crazy! Here are all the cousins cuddling in their matching PJs. That was a tradition from my family. We always opened PJs on Christmas Eve. Thanks to Auntie Jen for the lovely pajamas for Austin.
Here are the cousins just being silly. Austin always wanted to be sitting next to his cooler, older cousin Landry.
Hansi had to get into his Elf costume for the night. He disappeared for awhile then came knocking at the back door and everyone had a good laugh. Here is the silly Meyer family :-)
Papa Elf and Austin opening the first present.
Austin got a handmade pillow case from grandma and he loved it! He has now graduated to having a pillow.

Papa Elf got an emergency kit for the car and Austin wanted to drag it around everywhere. He then started waving "bye bye". So cute! We really had a wonderful and present-filled Christmas Eve!
