day 118

merry christmas eve :)

every christmas eve we take the obligatory dressed up christmas photo shoot in front of the tree.

then we all pile into the car and have dinner at my grandparents' with don's side of the family. we eat mom-mom braun's crab cakes and cole slaw, all of the cousins exchange gifts in a pollyanna, and all of the grown ups do a yankee gift swap.

then we get back in the car and go to "midnight mass" which is actually at 11 p.m., which I don't really understand. but anyway it's beautiful, regardless of what time it is.

then we go home and wait for santa to come!
