Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is always a fun day.  The kids wanted to sleep over at Grandma Margie's the night before so that they could help her set up for the Kresser Family Party.  So, Tony and I took them over to her house before dinner.  Tyler got invited to a party that same night, so we took him out to dinner with Tony and me before his party.  We went to Los Garcia and Tyler was pretty happy about that.  After dinner we walked around Costco before taking Tyler to his party.

After Tyler's party, Tony took him to his parents' house for the sleepover.  The next morning Tony and I got some breakfast at Black Bear Diner.  Honestly, it wasn't very good.  I have not been impressed with them the last couple time we've been there.  After breakfast we went to Sam's Club to walk around and see if anything good was discounted.  Not much was found.

Later that morning we went up to visit with Tony's grandma, Nana.  We haven't been for a long time, and I had some caramels for her to enjoy.  We were able to spend almost two hours there chatting with her.  We plan on going back with the kids later this week.  

After we got home, I finished up making my soup for the dinner at Tony's parents' house.  We then got all our presents together and the soup and went to the party.  We enjoyed lots of extended family, good food and fun presents exchanges.  

Margie always gets the kids pajamas and gives them to the kids on Christmas Eve.  We all help pick up her house after the party, the dudes take back the tables and chairs while the rest of us put back her furniture and clean up.  Then it's jammie time.  I love when all the kids change into their jammies, and we take a picture.  It's sad they're all getting so big, but fun to see them all grow.  We then drove home and got ready for Santa to come the next morning.  It was another great Christmas Eve!
