The Holidays part 5: Christmas Eve.

Early on Christmas Eve Day, we went and visited Kurtis' grandpa and his Aunt Tina and Uncle Mike.  It was nice to see them during the holidays!

Later that evening, we headed over to the Waldon home.  We had a shortage of food, as usual.  (This is only half of the food we put out...it's a sickness).

We also spent Christmas Eve with our longtime neighbors Carol, Ben, and Becky.

We took some time early in the night to take pics.  And thank goodness for my parents and Teenie!  I just stole all of their pictures because I've been a slacker when it comes to photographing anything lately!

Here are Oma, Opa, and Emmy

Clara and Ben decided to join the pic!  Sadly, Clara had already shed her cute sweater at this point.  Little stinker!

Here's our family

And the Kaufmans

Obligatory sister pic

The small ones got to open one gift each!

And then they serenaded us with lovely tunes on the piano!

Then Emily decided to be her wacky self!  Check this next sequence out!

Then she did a very important job with cookies, milk, and reindeer food veggies.

As you can tell, it was a wonderful Christmas Eve!

And thanks Teenie and 'rents for letting me steal your pictures!  I'm glad you made an effort to take lots of photos during the holidays!!!  It was a wonderful Christmas Eve!
