Christmas Eve with Family

We had two fun Christmas Eve parties to attend. Our evening started at Uncle Mark's house. He and Aunt Kathie served a wonderful roasted veggie lasagne. Yum-O!

Great Gramma and Ben

Grace and cousin RobinNext we went to Alice's house for a litte Christmas Eve get-together. Here is the Holdaway side of the family. Our picture has grown bigger every year for the past three years. Will it be bigger in 2009? Gabriel and Grace received Santa gifts at Alice's. Gabriel got a Don't Spill the Beans game, a Cars cup, and police SUV. Grace received a fleece hat, a Diego camera, and a xylophone for the bath tub.
What a cutie!Gabriel LOVED the camera. He posed everyone at the party, multiple times, and took their picture.

Stacey is an official member of the family now. That whole "wedding thing" in July was just a formality --- NOW it's official. She received THE HAT for Christmas. We love you, Stacey!
