Christmas with the Karaffa's...

We celebrate Christmas with Poppy, Nana, Uncle Blair, Aunt Blip Blip, McKinly & Easton on Christmas Eve...it's been our tradition for a while, and we love it. So, we all got to wear our jammies, eat dinner together, and then open up our presents. We had such a fun night together.

McKinly, me, & Averie...don't you love how I am holding McKinly's face towards the camera? Just helping him out :)
...and of course, a "silly" picture...
One of all the Karaffa grandbabies before the excitement begins...

We all gave Poppy & Nana a personalized ornament with all our names on it. They loved it!
And, all the festivities wore Easton slap out. He fell right asleep in Mommy's arms...she loved that!
And, after the fun gift exchange, we ended our evening with the traditional viewing of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. We had such a fun night...and we are so thankful for family!
Merry Christmas Eve!
