Here's to Christmas traditions! For the last few years, we've hosted a family dinner on Christmas Eve. Since we spend Christmas Day at home, just us and Memaw, it's nice to have this occasion to invite our family over for a good meal and great company.

After dinner Cara and Chris took on the Dubs in some Wii sports, and our sweet daughter shared a little "Christmas punch" with her eldest cousin:

After our company went home, Ryan continued the traditions by reading the classic "Night Before Christmas" poem:

Before hitting the hay, Ryan even had time to assemble one of his presents from Nana and Papa: the Krusty Krab in Legos!

But before too long, it was time to leave cookies for Santa and head to bed...
