Family party

We went in to town to my brother's house for dinner and a gift exchange on Christmas Eve... it was fun to get together and the cousins always enjoy hanging out. We had what has become a traditional meal on Christmas Eve for us... pizza and Chinese food. We didn't stay long, just a couple of hours but it is nice to have family close enough to get together for the holidays. They got to open gifts from grandma and grandpa and then we were headed home to do the sibling gift exchange and to get ready for Santa's big visit!
