Christmas Eve 2010

Charlie was back to his normal self on Christmas Eve.  Can you tell? 
 Still a little sick, but much better than before!


Here's how we celebrated Christmas Eve:

Baking goodies
making gingerbread houses



Tony's is the one with the garage :)

I made my family's traditional Christmas Eve dinner: sub sandwiches, veggie trays, chips with french onion dip, smokies with barbeque sauce, etc. 

Tony finally pulled out presents and put them under the tree. We knew it would be a constant battle trying to keep presents wrapped so we've kept them in the spare room.  It felt like Christmas had started once the presents were under the tree!



After dinner we did the "Twas the night before Christmas" activity my in-laws put together for us.  It was so much fun that I want to do a small version of it every year! In the story certain words were left blank (with a number in it's place) for specific people.  When you said the missing word you opened a present with that number on it...if that makes sense.  It was a mini Christmas!  We just loved it.
