Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night...

CHRISTMAS EVE
We started Christmas Eve festivities by eating lunch with the Allsopp's. It was so nice to have a slighty expanded dinner party. Lily provides the sweetest entertainment and we were so glad to welcome Uncle Mike to his first holiday with our family.
We had a fabulous time and Lily enjoyed eating BBQ, singing and dancing and the silver tree!!!
Granddaddy is particulary fond of aluminum Christmas trees because it was popular in is childhood, the 60's. It was introduced to him by his favorite cartoon Tom & Jerry! I'm sure Lily is not too far from some Saturday morning cat and mouse cartoons!
Around the tree features a choo choo train. Lily is a master train conductor.



Sounding all the bells and whisltes...

We tried really hard but this was the best picture we could get in front of our tree.

Christmas Eve dinner was enjoyed with the Sullivans. Great company, good food and lots of laughs (if you're at the right table)!!!

Lily and cousin Barbara. Paper crowns from Christmas poppers is my favorite part of  Gigi's Christmas dinner!!



We were so thankful to have all of our families together to enjoy this special evening. Every part was so wonderful and we love you all! Merry Christmas!
