Christmas Eve

This year we had a very busy Christmas Eve. Actually, it always is busy! We started off our morning bright and early with a trip to the Italian Store to get goodies for our Christmas Day Antipasti. It is a tradition that we started a long time ago, and although my mom would be just as happy not going anymore, Chris is used to going and insists we go! Then in the afternoon Chris headed down to get Grandma Eda and Grammy and Papa arrived to spend Christmas with us! Then we headed up to Babo Skip's to visit and open presents. Charlotte got a pair of purple snowshoes, just in time for the snow! Caroline loved Babo Skip's Santa hat!

 Chris and Papa were silly as always.

 Grandma Eda just loves Chris... and she was cold so she needed him to keep her warm!

 Charlotte got lots of new books and was anxious for someone to read them to her!

Then we headed back to Mom's for dinner. The girls played and we tried to get them to bed early since we knew we would have an early morning once Santa came!
