Day #2 at the farm added Melissa & Cara's families into the mix. With more people, more noise, & more excitement, taking photos barely crossed my mind! Then all families but ours & my parents headed out to the children's Mass. We helped Mom prep for our Christmas Eve dinner.
Though we usually go disposable for sanity's sake, on Christmas Eve we dress it up a bit. Here's the little kids' table.
The big kids' table
The adults' table
& yumminess. We've had soup & hors d'oeuvres for Christmas Eve for as long as I can remember. "The usual" never gets old!
The new tree in the new sunroom that my Dad built was surrounded by gifts for our cousins' exchange & adults' exchange.
The tree in the family room (besides being surrounded by Chris' family) was surrounded by the rest of the gifts. I couldn't believe the abundance! But when you have that many people together, even frugal gift-giving looks overflowing!
Dinner was fabulous & jolly. Thanks, Mom! Teresa was most interested in getting Nicholas to laugh. "Tickle, tickle, Nichol."
