Throughout the day, I baked and prepared for the 25th so I could have a non-stressful day. Around 5:00pm, we loaded the kids plus cousin Carson in the suburban and headed over to Popie and Grandma Barbie's house for our annual Christmas Eve celebration.The house was festive and smelled of sweet ham. There is always great food with the Lindsays as well. :) While waiting for the rest of the family to arrive, we had fun visiting with Brittany and her new husband, Brandon. Dinner was ham, potatoes, rolls, salads and yummy appetizers (brie cheese with crackers and hot jelly and Cheri's homemade salsa too).
After dinner, we gathered and listened to Cindy talk about the symbolism of gift giving before diving into the presents. Our kids get spoiled rotten every year at this party....seriously! Grandma gives them each 3 really nice presents and then each one of their aunts generally gives them a present so they come away with quite a loot. It took several hours to open gifts. Afterward pie and then headed home
