It all began on Christmas eve

We drove down Christmas eve in the morning. My mom hosts Christmas eve every year. We ate tons of pasta, and let the boys stay up way past bedtime, then gave them their matching pjs to wear before bed that night. My favorite part of the night was watching Caleb next to cousin Jeffrey. He was enthralled with Jeffrey's guitar. The other highlight of the night was listening to my aunt Joey sing 'Santa Baby' with her hubby, my uncle neil. He played the guitar, she sang. Fun times. Growing up we always listened to Neil and Jeffrey sing while they played. My nani always chimmed in (couldn't carry a tune). Joey loves singing ( but like her mom, my nani, can't carry a tune! So Neil gave her singing lessons, how cute is that?) She sang to everyone Christmas eve. It was pretty cute!

i didn't take many pictures that night, it was a full house, but the fun was all in this room at this moment ;)

Later that night, Santa and his elves were busy....to be continued ;)
