Christmas Eve Eve

Greetings to all of you! 

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas,

I have to say, this one was the best ever.

On Christmas Eve Eve, as we call it,

our family gets together at Wendy's house

for the pre-Christmas celebration.  

The work she puts into this, and the traditions

that have been created over the years,

make this such a special evening.

My grand niece celebrated her first Christmas, with Mom Rachel!

My triplet grand nephews, now 10, joined in the picture of my

nephew Dave and Preston.

It was such a special surprise when my cousin Carol, whom I haven't seen in several years,

came in with her awesome fiance' Tim!

And my nephew Jeff, whom I haven't seen in forever!, showed up with my sister Kathy!!

My Grand daughters, Tara and Kiley, were adored by my nieces, Jenna, Claire, and Kayla.

My sister Wendy puts so much into this evening, and one of the crafts she gave the kids

was a Nativity sticker page. I helped Jenna put hers together.

I love this picture!!  Wendy's kitten was in the back room, 

and came up to the door. Kayla

played with her through the window.

I was really unhappy when it came time to take the family 

pictures, my camera battery went dead!

But all in all, this Christmas was fantastic.

I hope yours was as special!
