We traveled to Lake City, Tennessee (one town up from ours) to enjoy our traditional Christmas Eve with the family at my Aunt Susie and Uncle Al’s home.  The kids open up some of their Christmas presents on this night and we celebrate two birthdays as well (yes, they were born on Christmas Eve)!!  Here are a few pics from the evening:

 

Susie does an excellent job with her tree every year!

 

This is one of the reasons I love Christmas:  FOOD!!

 

This is one of the birthdays we celebrated this evening.  My cousin Randy and Sonya’s boy, Silas, gets money for his birthday.

 

This is my nephew Charles Harijot tearing into his big Christmas gift!

 

  

This was his gift from the family:  Mountain Rail Adventure train set!

 

This was another gift Charles Harijot was quite fascinated with

 

This is Silas with a organizer handmade by his Uncle Steve!!

 

This is my cousin Andrea’s little boy PJ with his grandma Susie

 

I could have been nice and uploaded the normal picture of my cousin Stephanie’s boy Andy.  This is more quintessentially Andy though lol!!

 

This is my Stephanie’s other boy, Ryan, making the fashion statement with red and black socks!!

 

No get-together with the family is complete without a few rounds of rook!  This is my Mom and Aunt Susie (respectively).  Judging from their expressions, I believe my Mom has an awesome hand, but Susie is not quite as pleased with hers lol!!
