The Night Before Christmas

We hosted Christmas Eve this year at our house with gumbo and good cheer. I am hopeful that this was the first of a tradition that will be looked forward to by all of our families and friends every holiday season. I loved the planning and preparation of the food and sharing the company of people we love on one of the most special, magical nights of the year.

"I have how long until the party starts?!?! Better get in gear!"


Ready to party!


"I love your festive sweater, Nana."


GrandPattie has fur on her vest...



Through the years we all (plus a few more) will be together...


"And I told Santa EXACTLY what I wanted..."


I hope you had yourself a Merry Little Christmas as well! And here's to a prosperous New Year, cheers!
