Christmas Eve was our second family party of the season. We trimmed down the events for the evening so that everyone could get back home to have their own family time and preparation for the night.
It worked out pretty well. We got started a little late so everyone got left a little later than expected.
We started out with our traditional dinner of chicken and dumplings and tamales. We added bacon wrapped smokies, chips and salsa, guacamole, relish tray and pineapple. It was a really delicious meal!
After dinner we started in on Christmas presents. The kids were soooo excited! We started out with our Christmas Eve pajamas and then took our annual family pictures in front of the Christmas tree.
Next, we opened one present at a time so that we could see who got what from whom....
It turned out really fun and the kids were so thankful to each of their cousins for their thoughtful presents.
It was sweet to see them give each other hugs and be thankful:)
Here are a few pictures of the night (taken from grandpa's videos:)
It was a Merry Christmas Eve!
