Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a bit hectic. As prepared as I tried to be for Christmas I still needed to make a last minute run to the grocery store. I still needed to wrap a few presents and I still needed to bake cookies for Santa! Amazingly, with a little help from Mike & the girls we got everything done in time to leave for Auntie Lauren & Uncle Gregg's.

It's a family tradition since we moved to Florida that we get together with Mike's parents and his siblings on Christmas Eve to open presents and enjoy some delicious appetizers. We all came together around 4:30 to get the night rolling.

This year we were missing 3 important members of our family; Auntie Allison, Uncle Mike and Cousin Cam went to Chicago for Christmas. We missed them a lot but got to enjoy the company of two other special people for Christmas Eve... Gregg's Mom Dory and our friend Dave.

The Newlyweds! 1st Christmas as Husband & Wife!

Merry Christmas! Can we open our presents already!?

Maddy & Mikayla both had lots of presents to open! Auntie Lauren & Grandma picked out some exciting stuff for their favorite girls! It was a very Happy Christmas Eve!
