christmas eve night.

christmas eve night, caroling & having a fantastic evening at nana's house.


caroling to tiffany, mick & addy. they lived across the street from us for 10 years, then bought our old house & fixed it up fancy...



paul, my mom & cindy. sorry about the closed eyes photo, mom! you still look great...




the two fellas eagerly awaiting the gifts...



giving nana a big squeeze...


gabby entertaining herself with the baby jesus...



helping nana open her goods...



bruce relaxing during the gift-giving...


another nana squeeze...


favorite present? buzz lightyear who spins & lights up...



checking out each other's loot...



while merrick parties the night away with some bubble wrap...


and after getting to sample real sugar plums while we caroled, we went to bed with visions of nana's ooey-gooey in our heads instead. if you couldn't tell, sugar plums leave a bit to be desired in the sweets department. nana's ooey-gooey, however, does not. yummmm!

thank you for the wonderful night!

Was it only 10 years? I feel like you were always there. I am so glad you stopped by. We LOVE the caroling on Christmas eve. How was the New year's day GNO? I am sad I didn't make it.

How fun!!! Being with family is the best!! What's up with all the fruit by baby Jesus? Maybe the Gabby was trying to feed him? lol.

YES! I want to get together again soon! I MAY be taking a class by you...I haven't decided yet, but if I do, I'd get to see you more often! YAY! And I'd love to take family pictures for you...anytime. That would be totally fun. I'm going to take a photography class in feb too! Can't wait! Give me a call.
PS My marathon is the end of this month! My foot is feeling better. i can't remember if I talked to Mr Marathon over there about it's miraculous healing, but it's a story that needs to be told.

That is funny, because I also had a taste of real sugar plums this year. I thought they were equal in standing to fruit cake-which means they were nasty.
