We went to Daryl's sister's house for Christmas Eve. It is actually Daryl's mom's birthday too, so we do a birthday/Christmas celebration. It was a great time. Unfortunately the weather was just crazy. It snowed all day and night which made driving a bit treacherous. But we made it there and back in one piece.
Instead of having a traditional Christmas Eve dinner like we have in years past, we all opted to do appetizers instead. This way we could just nibble all evening long in between all the gift giving and games. It worked out well especially since the whole family is a bunch of "grazers" anyway. We had quite the spread of delectable yummies. I think I gained 5 pounds in one night. It was awesome.
Natalie and Henry had a great time with the family, too. They enjoyed playing with cousin Makenzie (9) and 2nd cousin Parker (6) and of course really enjoyed opening up all their gifts. The family definitely spoiled them once again.
Happy Birthday Mom and Merry Christmas Lohstroh Family!
