Christmas Eve

My most favorite day of the year-- the night before Christmas.

We enjoyed a relaxing day at home-- cooked, cleaned, and finished wrapping all our gifts to get the house rest for our Christmas Eve celebration.

We went to the family service mass at St. Vincent's, then had a delicious meal at our house while the kids patiently waited to open Christmas presents from Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Ricky, Nikki and Kesley.

My little surprise to the Grandparents and cousins were matching Christmas pjs-- so everyone could get comfy while we read the Night Before Christmas... in anticipation for Santa's arrival.

It was a great Christmas Eve but certainly the not the same with our new baby cousin Dante in the hospital with RSV and pneumonia.
