Christmas Eve

Our families usually get together on Christmas Eve, so this year we hosted. It was so much fun. We had a soup smorgasbord. Broccoli, clam chowder and minestrone with rolls and our favorite cheese ball. Mary brought over some awesome 3D glasses change Christmas lights into different images.



We played a Christmas wrapping game and had a White Elephant Exchange. We all got a work out with as much laughing as we did. And Jackson enjoyed playing with the wrapping paper.


There were great gifts including Valentine socks, glow sticks, a half filled crossword puzzle book, some old dress up accessories, old Russian chocolate, Berry cotlets, a disco ball headband, some marshmallow snowmen mugs, old VHS tapes (what are those?), an old computer monitor we had left at my parents for the last year + since our move, Elmer Fudge jackhammer pen, scissors, matchbox cars, chocolate, and our favorite a pair of women bell bottom ski pants.


Before everyone headed home to get ready for Christmas morning the boys opened their Christmas eve pj's. We had so much fun. Thanks everyone for coming. We are planning on doing it again next year and can't wait!
