Chrstmas Eve

No one does Christmas Eve as well as Grandma and Grandpa Hale. We had a lovely dinner. Then we had the sharing of talents and Christmas songs. Cole and Jack played their piano recital pieces as did some of their cousins. Bracky did a dance that was amazing! He's created his own dance style.

 Before the pinata, this year there were presents for all the little kids! Here you can see them lined up youngest to oldest to pick their gifts. Dollar store toys that they absolutely went wild for!! I think we got a little high from the fumes of all that silly string!

Then we returned home for our own Cresap Christmas Eve. The modeling of the new PJs!

 And the opening of the new books.

And the mugging for the pictures.

On Christmas morning we had our traditional Christmas birthday cake for Jesus. I added some eggs and bacon to cut the sugar a bit. Then I prepared this Feast of Forbidden Foods for the family to snack on throughout the day.

It was a quiet and pleasant Christmas.

 Oy!
