How We Celebrated Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with my family this year. We had a blast with everyone and laughed our heads off a lot of the night. When my family has a party we don't mess around. We make SO much food, you'd think we were feeding twice as many people. We also announced our big baby news to my family on Christmas Eve. We put Brycen in a t-shirt that said "Big Brother In Charge" on it. Amy saw it first and very quickly. They were all quite surprised!

See what I mean about the food?

I made the meatball recipe of Tyson's that everyone loves (recipe found here), as well as these mint Oreo truffles. These puppies were divine.

Grandma and Grandpa Murri came over for a little while, enjoyed some food and some games, and took a picture with these two cutey heads.

This year was our nephew Boston's first Christmas! This little man is 4 months old and very popular at all the parties...

We sure do love this little squish!

Brycen loves his uncles and aunts.

After eating and visiting, my mom gave each of the grandkids a present. Christmas pj's, of course! Amy helped Brycen open his.

Aaron and Britney gave Brycen this blow up zebra and he just loves it. It has water in the bottom of it to keep it from falling over, so it turns into a big punching bag for him. He tries to climb on it but the zebra always wins. One of these days Brycen will defeat it! For now, he really likes to push it and watch it come back up.

The babies opened up their pj's then went to bed. They both had quite the night.
On to game time! We decided not to do Bingo! like we've done in the past so Mom came up with some other fun games to play.

Like "Name that Christmas Song"

And this hilarious game where we had to draw a Christmas tree, fireplace, etc. on a paper plate on top of our heads. We got points for how close we got to drawing the different things in the correct places. Too funny!

We had a great time at our Christmas Eve party! What a blast!
