We celebrated Christmas Eve at Nana and Papa's this year. We enjoyed shrimp soup and oyster stew along with many munchie appetizers for lunch. Then, the girls and Nana preformed the nativity. After that, we opened gifts, enjoyed Grandma Velma's Christmas punch and cookies and went to Christmas Eve mass. It was a wonderful day.
The original "elf on the shelf". My aunt Marcince made an elf for my Grandma each year. My Mom has them now, it was so fun to see them all on display.
Little lamas made from real lama hair, with love from Laura from Peru.
Ma and Pa thought they were pretty funny with the "prank you" boxes they wrapped some of our gifts in. Nate got the coffee maker shower head and I got the Blankeez....very funny !!! It had me for a second. (They sell them at Bed Bath and Beyond).
