Christmas Eve Traditions

This year we celebrated Christmas Eve at Jenee's home.  This is a tradition in our family to get together Christmas Eve - have yummy appetizers and desserts, open up our stocking stuffers and read the Christmas story.  Here is Jenee's tree!

 

Here's just one of the yummy appetizers - a cute cheese ball snowman with crackers that Jenee made - so cute!!!

Christmas Eve

Each Christmas Eve we get together as a family and have appetizers and desserts; read the Christmas Story; open stocking stuffers and get the little ones into their brand new pajamas.  This year our friends Elmo and Septembra and daughter Naomi joined us.  Here are a few pictures of our wonderful night!  Enjoy!

Lovely mantel with candles glowing - makes me feel all warm inside.

Makai and Heidi cuddling - note Heidi's cute penguin tattoo :)

Kamili striking her model pose for the camera.

I love this picture of my three oldest grand-daughters Makai, Paisley and Kamili showing off their new PJs and having a good time together.

Aaron and Elmo checking their lottery scratchers to see if they won anything.  Needless to say no one left very rich.

Some of the goodies being put out just before everyone got here.
