Nama and Poppy's House-Christmas Eve

After our family Christmas in Richmond we drove to NC to spend a few days with my family, including my grandparents who drive from Buffalo each Christmas to spend the week with us. On Christmas Eve we have a tradition of decorating sugar cookies. The whole family helps, which is necessary since my mom makes so many cookies! Of course there is a fair amount of sampling along the way!

After that we head to an early Christmas Eve Service at church around 5pm, but not before family pictures around the Christmas Tree. We also exchange home made christmas gifts and have a huge appetizer dinner! We've had this tradition for so many years I cannot remember anything different. We stuffed ourselves with all sorts of delicious appetizers and desserts before heading off to bed to dream about Christmas (again!)

The Whole Fam!
