Christmas Eve

Someone got to open a present early on Christmas Eve... drumroll for the Singing Potty! 

He's so excited about learning to tee tee in the potty!  (actually I think he's most excited about the toilet paper)

Every year we spend Christmas Eve at B's House. Long ago this event was a huge party with friends and family galore, but now we enjoy a more intimate gathering of just our immediate family of 24 members.


Raughley spent the evening burning off sugar.  

And loving on his B.

How sweet is that?

But then, once he'd had enough of the hugs, it was off to discover the gifts.

Especially this gem.  He sat on this most of the night.  Thank goodness it was concrete!

This is such a fun night for us, one of my favorites of the year.

Spending time with family, laughing, celebrating Dad's birthday, and eating yummy food!

Raughley got an awesome gift from John Coleman, all his old Thomas trains!


He would dump them on the floor and wallow in them, flapping his legs and arms and "swimming" in his new found toys.  

At least it kept him occupied while we played Dirty Santa, even if he did make a colossal mess. 

The night ended with dessert and a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday to Dad, then it was off to bed for little guy, and time to get ready for Santa's visit!!!
