Christmas Eve is my favorite day of the whole year. I know that is probably weird that it is Christmas Eve instead of Christmas - but I love the anticipation of Christmas and growing up, we always had our big Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve night. This year, we had a slightly busy day but it was all so fun. After church, we went to a Christmas Eve party - here is the only picture we got from that. It is of Ali playing in the toy kitchen with little Heath Garrett (who is too cute!). She played in that kitchen or with the shopping cart the whole time.
Now, on to Grandmama and Big Papa Tumlin's house for dinner with the family. This was a happy/sad time as we remember those we lost this year (and really notice it at this dinner - since my two grandmothers are not there this year with us) but cherish the memories we are making with the loved ones that are here to spend the holidays with. Here are some pictures of Ali opening a few presents that night!
She loved all of her gifts - and immediately starting playing with the cute new purse Frances got her.
And, of course, what would a purse be without lipstick?
Here's a picture of Big Papa opening presents with a bow on his head!
