We have lots of little Christmas traditions that start long before this one but this is the first BIG one each year. We spend Christmas Eve at Grandpa's house with the Thornberry branch of the family. This year they just couldn't make it on the 24th so we had our first Chrismas Eve gathering on the 23rd. Besides...having family together and being in the spirit of the season is what it's all about, so who cares if we did it a day early?
Of course, when you have Christmas with little ones, you also have presents.
Money was tight so the grown Thornberrys got an album full of pictures of the family, mostly Ellie. Maryann actually cried over their gift album (we didn't know at the time that pregnancy hormones may have played a small role in her tears).
Dani got a Dr. kit which both girls had lots of fun with :)
I was so busy enjoying everybody's company that I hardly took any pictures.
The best gift was time with family.
