Christmas Eve

This year, we invited my mom and brother, Tim, to come spend Christmas with us. This was our first Christmas without Dad and I think doing something different was very good for everyone. Christmas Eve we went to the candlelight service at church and then met the family at Chevy's for our annual Tex-Mex Christmas Eve dinner. Weird, I know, but we all love it!

Silly Grandma and Silly Drew!

Drew's spectacular dough/crayon creation!

After dinner we headed home and the kids got to open a gift. They chose the gifts from Tony's grandma, Nanni. She got them these super cute fleece items!

Mom opened the gift from her sister, my Aunt Jeanie. It was darling pj's!

Then it was time to put out the milk and cookies for Santa and the reindeer chow and carrots. The kids were soooo excited!

Did Santa come? We shall see....
