Highlights from Christmas Eve

Our family traditionally opens presents on Christmas Eve. I've recently discovered that this is fairly common. When we were kids we'd get one or two gifts from Santa on Christmas morning and we'd open the gift from the family member who drew our name. I don't know what Therin and Tami are going to do about Santa but Lillyana is too little this year to understand.

I did say "highlights". So here are a few...

Baby girl fell asleep before we were ready to open presents but she didn't sleep long. I got to give her a bottle when she woke up but the was also inducted into the auntie club when she had a blow out while sitting on my lap.





The grand pile o' presents


Tami opened the Sofia dress and loved it!



She also loved the hair sticks Marian made. Everyone else loved their Marian made gifts too, I just didn't get pictures.


She's still figuring out this new jumper but it's fun to chew on!


So is great grandma Joan's ( honorary) first Christmas ornament.



I made divinity...

And burned my finger on the sugar napalm.





Merry Christmas to all of you. I'm headed to Mom and Dad's for lunch with some of the extended family... If I can just get out of the hot tub!
