Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is a special day in my family because we celebrate two birthdays.  Baby Jesus and, my dad.  Happy Birthday Dad!

We started the day off right, with a bath! Bathing in the sink is so much easier than in the bath tub.  I think that is the way to go until Raughley gets bigger.  Plus I think he liked it!

All Clean!

After bath time we headed to BCC to celebrate Dad's birthday with his mother, my Granny B.  This is a tradition in my family and I always look forward to it.  We see the same people every year, and it's fun to run into old friends on such a fun day.

After lunch we headed back home for a rest before visiting Chase's family, Chase's friend George, and then back to B's house for the Morris family Christmas party!

Looking more like Daddy every day!

Cartwright, Aunt Libbie, and Uncle Ed.  We spent some of the night looking through old pictures of Pop's (my pop, not my dad), and found a picture of Cartwight's dad wearing the exact same thing when he was about Cart's age.  They look like twins.

before Dirty Santa.  Willie looks pumped.

Uncle Lee, Patrick, and Uncle Ed.

Linds opened some holiday decorations for her new home after dirty santa was over.

All in all it was a wonderful day and night, however, exhausting!  But all the fun days are, aren't they!

Stay tuned for Christmas day videos and pics!  What did Santa bring little Raughley?
