Christmas Eve

I think I enjoy Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day! I'm always with my mom, sister and brothers family. This year all of my cousins came and so did my Grandma and Aunt. I think I enjoy it more because the Christmas Spirit is there, but the gift giving isn't weighing on everyone's mind. We had such a wonderful evening!
Here is a picture of the flowers my Grandma and Aunt had sent to the house. This is my best friend since kindergarten, Heather. She came down from Monterey and I think she looks the best I've ever seen her, this is her meeting my Sophie for the first time.
In her last letter to me she wrote "Be sure to send her to kindergarten to find a best friend for life" ... loved it!

We opened Geoff and Missy's gifts. Billy is the new champ at opening dolls and all of the junk that accompanies them.
We couldn't find Lia for a while. Billy found her behind my brothers wheelchair feeding her doll. We could not ask for a sweeter little girl!

This is what my cousin Adam gave me. He was in Germany and picked this up at the Christmas Market, it is called the Silent Night Chapel. It is where Silent Night was played for the first time. (Its a candle holder and a music box too, guess what song it plays)
