Christmas Eve 2008

I can’t believe Christ­mas has already come and gone. All of the time, prepa­ra­tion and stress is now behind us and we can revel in the mem­o­ries that were made this year. I hope you all had a won­der­ful Christ­mas and hol­i­day sea­son. Over the next few days, I’ll post our pho­tos from our Christ­mas this year. There are a LOT, so I apol­o­gize in advance for the excess of them!

Every Christ­mas Eve we go over to Tony’s Mom & Dad’s house. It’s always a great time and this year was even more spe­cial since Amy’s fiance, Scott, was with us for the first time. It’s crazy to think that next year we will have a 9 month old with us as well (and maybe Amy & Scott will have one on the way?!).

My poor Mother in Law had her oven give out halfway through cook­ing our deli­cious annual prime rib. It def­i­nitely pro­vided a good story to reflect on over the years ahead. They tried to take it over to Bev’s mom’s house, but couldn’t get into the house. Then, we thought we’d just cook it on the grill. The guys dusted the snow off of it, fired it up and the roast caught on fire, not more than 30 sec­onds later, it died since it ran out of propane! So, off to the neigh­bors we went in our last attempt to cook the darn thing. Thank­fully, their oven was free and we had a deli­cious din­ner after all of that.

Any­ways, now onto the photos!

Santa!

Pure excite­ment and joy

Hugs from Santa

I love this photo of him, it looks almost mag­i­cal

Time to open the rest of our gifts!

Every time he would open a gift, he would say “Ohh­hhh, geez!!” and get super excited

He got so many great games that he already loves play­ing
