Christmas Eve at the Becker's

After visiting at Chris and Jessica's house, we headed back over to my parent's house briefly before we had to be down at the Becker residence. Emma was worn out from playing with her cousins and was taking a really good nap so we didn't want to disrupt her. This is the year that Greg and Jill were in town so it was nice to get to spend Emma's first Christmas with them.

When everyone arrived, we enjoyed a nice meal and then were able to sit around and chat before playing rob your neighbor. It was a fun game; one that we hope to keep up for years to come. Before long it was time to head to the midnight mass, well actually 10:00 PM mass. It worked out great because Emma slept through the entire mass and then all the way home. We were able to take her out of her car seat and go directly to bed too. It was off to bed so that Santa could visit our house!

Our of the five Christmas trees at Aunt Joan's house; and you don't want to get too close to this tree...those ornaments are very expensive.


A little diversity in our family...do you notice it?


Another Christmas tree, in a different room.


The boys.


Tickle tickle mickle pickle.


Emma and Daddy


Emma's shirt says "What Santa doesn't bring me grandma will"...so very true!

Hmmm, what's going on here? One of them must smell or something.
