Christmas Eve: Part 1



        Every Christmas Eve we go to Dad and Melanie's to visit for Christmas.  This year, Jess, Maggie, and I actually got up and ready early enough to visit for a good amount of time and not feel rushed.  Who would have thought just getting up earlier was the solution?





Mom's cute little reindeer cookies


Tobey
Bella















She was a huge fan of the homemade treats I made for her and Tobey.


They were ready for lunch.  Tobey will sit there and whine and squeal if you ignore him.






We opened presents, ate good food, and enjoyed each other's company.  Oh, and I got this.  Dad's old camera with all the lenses.



When Maggie was little, she loved Dad's tools.  She always said when Dad died, she would get his tools.  Morbid, yes, but it turned into a little joke/not such a joke of fighting over a few key items.  So, Jessica said she wanted his cd's.  Now that Maggie is older, she isn't as into his tools, so she has claimed the movies.  I never knew what I could have until I saw this baby.  As you can see, I didn't have to wait for it, I got it now. Booyah, sisters!  And thanks, Dad!

p.s.  We didn't get a picture with everyone together or any with Melanie, sorry!  Not sure why, Christmas is a busy time, I guess.
