Christmas Eve

Our Family Christmas Eve was doubly fun this year!

This was the first year that my Mom & Dad were here for Christmas, & knowing we usually have a Christmas Eve dinner with Mike's family, my Mom invited us to a Christmas Eve brunch.

The food was yummy but for me, the company was the real treat. I loved being able to spend the day with my Mom & Dad. The girls loved eating as many crepes as they could, Bayli had a nap and loved on the doggies, we exchanged presents and just enjoyed relaxing with family.

After a couple of hours at home to digest, we were off to Christmas Eve party #2 - our traditional Lebanese Christmas Eve dinner at Grandma Bess'!

Like any family get-together, the highlight for Bayli was Uncle Jeff, who spent lots of time with her - snuggling, playing and reading. The Lebanese food was awesome, but a highlight for me was the super-cute family pictures we took downstairs.

It was a really fun night...

It was late by the time we finally got home -Bayli was exhausted and so not cooperative with the rest of the Christmas Eve traditions...

The girls opened their Christmas Eve gifts - new pjs.

After they changed into jammies, we put some baklava out for Santa and Daddy read "Twas the Night Before Christmas". Then it was off to bed, visons of sugarplums and all...

What a Merry Family Christmas Eve!
