Christmas Eve this year Chan's Mom Kathy came up with a new idea! She decided it would be fun to go to all of our homes (Chan and his sisters) and see our decorations and have appetizers/dinner as we go. We all loved the idea and our house was first up! Myles LOVES playing with Nerf guns at our place!
Chan made some amazing
brushetta (from scratch of course) and we all just nibbled on that, chatted and looked at the decorations.
It was nice to just have time to visit with one another! It's been such a busy few months! This is Kathy and Dakota
My goofy guys! I got this shot and another one that was creepy, so this was the BETTER one!
Annie and Gerardo
Papa, Will and Brianne
Brooke and Mark
Then it was off to Annie's house! We went downstairs to see their newly remodeled basement, ate some yummy appetizers, played a bit of pool and talked some more! Brianne and Sophie were having fun!
Carter enjoys playing pool!
Then it was our last stop- Brooke's house! This tree was one that used to be at Tom and Kathy's house, but they gave it to them this year and I have to admit it looked GORGEOUS in their house! It fits much better there!
At her house we had our dinner of lasagna, salad and bread sticks. It was
soooo yummy!
Here's the kids munching on their grub!
After dinner Tom mentioned he wanted a photo of their family and I was happy to oblige! It turned out so great!
Tom and Kathy in their Santa hats! So fun!
Then it was time for Christmas Eve gifts.....
hmmmm..... I wonder what it could be???
That's right
JAMMIES! Christmas Eve wouldn't have been complete without
jammies! :) Vladimir and Duke jumped in for the photo too! I have to say that we enjoyed the "traveling Christmas Eve" so much! It was a great idea and we all decided it's our newest tradition. After Chan's Grandma (
Mema) passed away we've been struggling to find that one idea that would stick and THIS year was IT! Can't wait to do it again!
We got home in time to get the photo of the kids in their
jammies, clean up a bit and got the kids to bed so Santa could come. He actually decided to wrap EVERY item this year including the items in the stockings! And it was in his own paper too! That Santa is so clever and fun! Can't wait for Christmas and to see all that paper on the ground!

I LOVE that idea of going to everyone's house for appetizers/dinner. That would be SO fun--great chatting and playing plus seeing everyone's decorations (which I love). That is really cool!
