Christmas Eve

We always spend Christmas Eve with my parents and brothers and sisters and all the kids and even friends of our family. My Mom LOVES Christmas Eve!! Every year she comes up with a new "costume" for everybody to wear. We have been snowmen, reindeer, presents, ornaments just to name a few. This year we were Gingerbread Men. She had t-shirts made with everyone's name on them and in the center of the shirt is a Gingerbread Man wearing a bakers hat so we all had to wear our own bakers hats to match the Gingerbread Man on our shirts. We had a GREAT time but Kevin and I had to leave early because we had A LOT of toys to put together. So even though we may have missed dessert (I sure hate that!) it was a wonderful night. The kids loved their gifts but they love their GanGan & Papa more. Thank you Mom & Charles!!!!!
