Christmas Eve 2014

I think Christmas Eve is my FAVORITE part of Christmas.  It's all family, fun, games, memories, traditions, playing, kids, cousins, bonding, food, and just Christmas -- without any kids fighting about or melting down about new toys :-)

Here's all the cousins on my side of the family, in their new Christmas pajamas from Grandma Karine.  These pictures make me so happy.




Grandma Karine and Grandpa Robert with all of the grandkids.



One thing that made this an especially wonderful holiday was the fact that EVERY member of my family was able to spend Christmas Eve tomorrow.  As more people get married and spread out, I don't know how often we'll be able to do holidays with everyone there, so this made me super happy.

Ellie and Isaac trying to be 'shoulder angels' on top of Cody and Sara.

My Dad is his old Father's Day sweatshirt -- after 20+ years, it still 'fits' :-)

My parents knocked out a wall in their frontroom to open up to the dining room, just in time for this Christmas Eve dinner -- yay, we can all eat in one room!

Games!

The kids opened up cute new 'cruise' wardrobes from Grandma Karine and Grandpa Robert for our upcoming vacation.
