Christmas Eve

I need a photo resizer on this computer or I'm not going to be able to upload much of anything.

We had Christmas Eve dinner at my parents' house with all of us plus Scott & Denise and Barb & Larry. Faith and Ben were quite thrilled with the whole event, except for the fact that we wanted to open gifts *after* dinner, which left them stalking the tree for hours. ;o)

We exchanged gifts only with Barb & Larry that night--we do family gifts in the morning, extended family in the afternoon and F&B still have a Dallas Christmas waiting for them when we get home in January.

Faith got a beautiful volleyball charm for her charm bracelet, a Peter Rabbit porcelain tea set and a huge Polly Pocket set from Barb & Larry. Ben got a Tonka loader/scraper/something that is about 4 feet long, a Peter Rabbit anthology, and a Webkinz buffalo from them.

We had a big dinner, then realized that no one was hungry for dessert, so we opened gifts, then had dessert that still no one was hungry for. F&B were up really late, close to 11pm. I think cookies plus Christmas excitement is a bad combination.
