Christmas Eve

I fell behind with my Christmas posts.  I got 2 done!  On Christmas Eve we celebrated with Brian's side of the family.  We had dinner of yummy appetizers (there was tons of food!).  We made a recipe that we hadn't tried before and it was De-licious!  I also made 2 chess pies for dessert-one chocolate peppermint and one plain for Mary Kay's birthday.   Everyone wanted the chocolate peppermint!  After the kids opened their presents, we put on Brave for them to watch (which they got for Christmas) and then the adults socialized and we did our gift exchange.  Here are some pictures from the night.

 What's in the big bags from Uncle Dan and Aunt Rachel?  Bean bag chairs for their rooms!

Natalie and Noah got Brave, Monster's University, Feed the Woozle (which we have played many times already), Spin Art, Legos, Spirograph, bean bag chairs, and clothes.  In our adult gift exchange I got Nativity Scenes and Brian got striped dress socks.  Dan got IPA beer.  Lisa got candles/wax melts.  Paul got math books.  Rachel got things to keep a new mother sane.
