A Merry Christmas Eve

As in the past years of our married life, we hosted a Christmas Eve celebration for my family. All was in attendance, except Brittany. She was greatly missed! We delved into yummy mexican food, christollen bread, cookies, and hot chocolate. A few gifts were opened, including an awesome tea set from Matthew to the family. Of course we had to try it on the spot. The Chai tea was amazingly tasty. The Scrabble Slam card game was also opened; we had to try that too. {Well, to be honest. Tony & I had tested this gift-to-Joey the night before ... You know; just to make sure it worked.} ;) I had all intentions of getting a family shot, as we have done every year in the past ... but that didn't happen.

After our company went back to their homes, Tony & I snuggled into the living room and exchanged our own gifts. It was a special time for just the two of us!
