Yes, 300+ Christmas photos later I finally downloaded and edited all the Christmas photos. I'll only torture the people who are related to us with the full compliment of photos via Shutterfly, but here are some favorites from Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve is still one of my favorite days of the year. Something about the magic of Christmas Eve. And every year we get to go to the best XMas Eve party around at my mother in law's house.
It's funny how the party has changed over the years. For a LONG time Neil and I were the only "party poopers" who had to leave early to get the kids home in bed for Santa, but now there's LOTS of babies and the party ends a lot earlier. (Note to Tommy for next year: DON'T work late again!!) Poor Tom had to work late, got home, ate shrimp and boom, we were all packing up to leave.
But he did get to see Buddy the Santa dog and hear all of the songs Devin has been practicing on his trumpet for Christmas!
Baby "A" and Big Boy "E" got their first Hess trucks this year (a family tradition). And how close to "A Christmas Story" is the hooded bunny towel "A" got?? Made me smile!
And HOW stinking cute are my niece "A" (2 & 1/2 months) and nephew "E" (4 days shy of his 1st birthday)?? Too cute for words! And, it wouldn't be XMas Eve without the big family photo. (Note the picture of Laurie and Vinnie in front. Almost like they were there!)

I could really feel the love that seems to be the softest and warmest on Christmas Eve... with babies, and candles and yummy food and the people you love most surrounding you. Ahhh....
