Christmas Eve

We had our annual Christmas Eve celebration at John's sister's house and then headed to my dad's house to spend the night.

Christmas Eve

We spend Christmas Eve with John's family. We usually have appetizers and then exchange gifts with the cousins. It's a fun night and this year we added a white elephant gift exchange for anyone who wanted to participate. It was a fun addition to the night.

Each year we go to my sister in law's house for Christmas Eve. It's always filled with great food, super people, and good times.

Once we leave the festivities, we head to my dad's house to spend the night and prepare for Santa's arrival. Here are the girls putting out the reindeer food. Look at them in their shorts on Christmas Eve.

A bit behind with my holiday updates, but we were gone for about a week. We spent the holidays with our family in Virginia Beach.
