Christmas Eve

We had our family Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve.  Laura, Heather and their families came for supper that evening.


We had a pretty simple supper; sliders, salad, mac and cheese and some Christmas treats.




The kids were enjoying their suppers.  Alaina is a huge fan of sliders, and Cassie loves "noodles".  




Connor was getting lots of attention.




We always read the Christmas story before opening presents.  I try to find a book that tells the story, and this year Ruby read it.




Cassie was happy with these doll clothes.




This made us all laugh.  We got Laura a plant trolley, to help move big potted plants.  It came in a big box which was not easy to wrap.  Imagine our surprise when she opened it and inside was another box, all sealed up - about half the size!









Such fun opening presents!




Connor is a smiley little guy!




Before they went home, Connor and Cassie got dressing in their matching PJ's.






My three girlies!

Connor is adorable and the girls are beautiful and they all look so very happy! Christmas is always better with children. the thing that grabbed me the most is the TRAY OF SLIDERS.. I love burgers of any kind or size and Mac and cheese is my 2nd favorite food. yum

Connor was certainly enjoying himself and everyone was enjoying him. Sliders sound so good right now...Hmmmm. sounds good for Dinner tonight. We always read the Christmas Story as well and the kids have always been a huge part of this. One year they all got together (dressed in costume) and as Sam read the story, they acted it out for us. I thought this was the best. Your family is beautiful and I love all of the warmth and love in these pictures.

Cassie does not look too sure of Conner there - so cute. They sure did get their father'[s dark beautiful eyes.
Cassie really liked the two older girls - they were so cute and nice to take the time with the littler ones.
It seems like a wonderful Christmas!

Oh how I love Connor and his drool. That's so cute and I'm glad you captured it.
Great shots of Christmas joy and excitement over the gifts.
You have a beautiful family, and I love your simple meal for Christmas Eve supper. Perfect and I love "noodles" too.

Great shots of the girls. Love Cassie's expressions and that last picture of the three girls.
Connor is so sweet, and I think he looks a lot like his sister.
My favorite photo is the one of Ruby reading the Christmas story to Cassie.
