Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve day started with lots of cousins playing.  Our kids were there, along with Randy & Kara's six, and George & Eleanor (Joe & Renee's) came to spend the morning.  The kids all had lots of fun playing together.

Grandma and Grandpa with six of the grandkids- a few cousins (Alexis, Tanner, and Braden) weren't able to make it that day

 After lunch, presents, and fun, we headed back to my mom's house to get ready for church.  We went to Mass that evening and then had a crew come back to the house for pizza and fun.  Randy read a story to the kids while they were anxiously awaiting presents.  Our kids each got a few presents that evening.  It is always a fun time!  Shortly after presents, it was time to head to bed so that Santa could come!
