A Very Merry Christmas Eve!

The holidays started off right with baking treats for the neighbors.  If I never bake another sugar cookie again it will be too soon!  [the fudge was much easier, but didn't earn any pictures]
 The boys got an earlier Christmas gift-- a new basketball to take with them to the family party-- of which I got NO pictures this year!  Sad.
 Then on to Christmas Eve.  While we packed up the car to head out for the holiday, Ez grabbed the keys + was jamming to the radio.  As luck would have it, that was just enought to kill our battery on a cold winter morning :(  After hitting a couple auto stores, which were all closed for the holiday, we finally found one open + bucked up for a new battery *just in case* as were going to be on the road for a few days.
We made it to our first desitnation, Grammy + Grandpa Gygi's.  We had a delightful Christmas Eve with all my sibs.  Wyatt, Lily, Karen + I serenaded us with Christmas tunes.
 The grandkids opened their cousin-gift-exchange presents,
 including the made-with-love build-a-bear.
Dad read the Christmas story from Luke 2 and we sang Silent Night.

Mom, Nate, Tracie, Weston, Jim, Kare
Then we hit the sack + waited for the jolly big guy to shower us with more surprises!
