Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a big day for Grace. In addition to playing Baby Jesus at church, Grace also attended her first Christmas Eve celebration with the Williams/Constable/Erdel/Eyler clans. For over 25 years these four families have gathered on Christmas Eve to share a meal and to celebrate the holiday and the great friendships the families have forged over the years. It's a great tradition which I'm sure Grace will enjoy more and more throughout the years. The group was gracious enough to include my family which made it extra special for Mark and me. Needless to say Grace was a big hit with the crowd!

Getting ready pre-party...

That was exhausting!
