Christmas Eve 2018

We spent the day getting ready for our party!

I made the special Italian Christmas lasagna that I learned a few weeks ago in my cooking class. 
It was sooooo good and had all the right colors!


Whitney got to spend the day skiing with our friends
They returned tired and happy!

All ready.... just need some guests!

23 1/2 of us for dinner


Guess the candy cane flavors

Oven Mitt Challenge

White Elephant Gift Exchange




After our guests left we opened our Christmas Eve presents - PJs from my Mammaw :)
Whitney set out egg nog and chocolates for Santa...
...along with this note! lol!

All ready!

All is calm....
Christmas Morning!

Christmas morning cuddles!

Oh... the anticipation!



Trying to see what they got and see what their siblings got all at once! 







My favorite part.... opening presents from Tara and Tamara while Skyping since we are exactly 12 hours apart

After Christmas naps went to our friends house for a beautiful feast


Life is good!


Unfortunately.... the rest of the week we were all very, very sick! We couldn't muster the strength to do anything....  

Merry Christmas!
