Christmas Eve 2011

Ever since I can remember, my family has always done a "buffet" on Christmas Eve. It's one of my favorite traditions, and I look forward to it every year! Basically we just go to the store and buy a bunch of food and then eat together while watching movies and then after we open up pajama's and go to bed, eagerly awaiting Santa!

Last year was different though.

My aunt and uncle joined us.

All of their kids were out of the house,

so we though it'd be fun for them to come over!

We just laughed, played games, watched movies, and then parted our ways.

This year was different.
I worked until 3.
Slowest day ever.

They came over,

along with my cousins Skye & Ty.

My sister and brother-in-law came,

(and slept over too!!!)

Then my brother, his wife and their baby came too :)

It was so fun! We had lots of food, and sweets to eat!

All of our tummy's were full! :/

Afterwards we watched home videos.

Here I'll give you a peek:

That is us as kids dancing to "the boogie."

My Aunt Lisa played it every year at our Christmas party,

and we loved it to death; another tradition I miss.

We would go crazy, as you see.

This year at the party, my cousin (her daughter)

played a little snippet and all of us went crazy

with our "remember when?"'s and "oh my gosh! so funny!"'s

I tried to upload another video,
but it doesn't want to work.
It was of me and my sisters and cousin.
Then we watched other funny home videos.
After, we played mad gab for about 15 minutes,
then everyone went home.
We opened up our pajama's and went straight to bed!
Such a fun Christmas Eve! Well spent :)
