Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve always feels special.

Emi's favorite place at Grandma and Grandpa's--Kershaw's bed. 

In her favorite spot again.

The boys watching the Cowboy's Game.

Look at this beautiful set up.

We each made a part of the meal. I was in charge of the veggie tray.

All the fam minus Courtney.

All the fam minus me.

Chris is always so cute with Emi. He's going to be a great dad one day.

Emi was Mary in our nativity. Marty was the donkey.

Carillon Bells. 

Angela and I played "Angels we Have Heard on High" and "Jingle Bells".
