Christmas Eve with the H's

The girls dressed and ready to head to Christmas Eve Mass. 

After mass we went to L&B's for Christmas. The kiddos were entertained by How the Grinch stole Christmas while everyone ate and until we started opening presents. 

Patiently waiting until it was her turn to open. 

After the kiddos got done, us adults played Rob Your Neighbor and we headed home just shortly before mid-night.

This was the first year in 10 years since Mr. C and I have been dating that we did not spend the night at his dad's house. This was an extremely hard tradition for us to break. Since my sis B&B got married my family has not had Christmas on Christmas Day, however the first year 2003 we were dating i broke my tradition of staying at my parents house and stayed with him at his dad's house. Mr. C's brother stopped staying the night about 5-6 years ago & Sissy stopped 2-3 years ago, so it has just been us. Well this year Mr. C decided that we would spend Christmas Eve at our house.
