Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve is such a big day in both Ken and my families that it definitely deserves its own post! We had such a fun-filled and activity packed Christmas Eve! It began with Ken and I doing some crazy last minute shopping. Hmmm...shame on us! :) Then we strapped on our bowling shoes and had a great game of bowling with Ken's family! I played absolutely horrible...ha...but, it was still a blast! We then hurried over to sit down to a DELICOUS Carrabba's meal. MMM...that is one of our favorite restaurants (and always brings back fun memories since we had our luncheon there on our wedding day)! After finishing up there we headed back to my parent's house to open our BIG stockings! :) My parents are so cute...opening stockings is like a second Christmas! And we always get new PJs! After reading the story of Jesus' birth and having a fun time with my family we headed over to Ken's family's house! By the time we got there Santa has already left presents for EVERYONE! We also got another fun surprise...Ken's sister Jen and her family came all the way from Pennsylvania to visit! We were so excited! After opening all the gifts (which takes at least an hour and a half) we adults all settled in to a fun card game until about 1 or so in the morning! Definitely a packed and crazy fun day!
