This year, we had a wonderful Christmas Eve. Our morning was spent relaxing and sharing time together at home. After trying to figure out what time Mass we would attend, we decided to skip the early Mass and McDonald's and the gang came our way for an early dinner and evening Mass. We had spiraled Ham, sweet potato casserole, mashed potato, salad and a GREAT CROWD! It was real nice spending the time together and chatting. We were all able to attend the Christmas Eve Mass at the church (versus the gym) this year too. The kids did much better than expected and after Mass we did our usual tour of neighborhood lights before heading over to Gramma's and Bapa's!
Over at the Sikora's everyone was in the Christmas spirit. The adults exchanged gifts, many humorous and mostly well thought of. The kids played well together as the adults engaged in conversation. Then the kids opened gifts from their grandparents and from their secret partners! Everyone had a wonderful evening being silly, playing games, and chatting!
