Christmas 2011


Be warned!  There are tons of pictures ahead!!

Christmas Eve is always held at our house with all the family.  I look forward to it and stress about it every year.  It stresses me out having that many people in our house but it always ends up being a great time and I've never heard anyone complain about being cramped or miserable :).  Even if we wanted to switch it around our very traditionalist daughter wants it at our house forever.  I actually really do enjoy having everyone there.

 I love to look back at the pictures of our Christmas Eve celebrations.  They're so bright and cheery.
