Christmas Eve

 

Every year my family heads over to a good family friends home for a fun

Christmas Eve party!

It's been a while, but this year Ben, Bry and I got to join them :)

It was so much fun eating yummy foods, catching up on sweet memories, enjoying Christ's birth reenactment by the children & Santa's little visit!

 



 

Even though my Dad got to play Santa this year, Bry was still too scared to sit on his lap- but brave enough to at least talk to him :)

We kept saying "it's grandpa Bry, it's just grandpa," but he still wasn't so sure ;)

Later that night when I was tucking him in to bed I said "time to go to sleep so Santa can come," and he said "papa" (what he calls my dad), "papa's coming?"

I think the kid is officially confused...we'll have to do a little more explaining next year :)

After the party we headed home to exchange our secret Santa gifts, wrap a few last presents and headed to bed hoping for a little snow :)
