Our Christmas began on the 22nd with the arrival of Grandma Bobo and Papa John. The next day my sister and her family and my Aunt and cousin and his family came to have a pre Christmas dinner.

Yay! I got to use my Sangria pitcher Shannon brought me from Spain! It was filled with the yummiest Cranberry Sangria EVER!!!
Christmas Eve was spent at a beautiful service at Grace Baptist followed by a yummy Italian dinner out that I did not need to cook!!! We arrived home and were treated by an impromptu viola concert by Kevin. We then allowed the boys to open one gift. They each chose to open the gift they had gotten for one another. We draw names and each boy buys for his brother using his very own money. They LOVE shopping for their brother and they love seeing what their brother got them:) We followed our gift opening with a McDonnell Family Classic... the annual viewing of Christmas Vacation. That is truly one of the funniest Christmas movies ever made! We ended the evening with a reading of the Night Before Christmas followed by Luke's version of the Christmas Story.
