Christmas Eve 2013

We drove down to PA on Christmas Eve this year.  Packing was a bit of a nightmare.  I had to pack for the 2 kids to be in PA for roughly 2 weeks, I had to pack for myself for about a week in PA and a week in warmer, tropical weather and I had to pack for special occasions; New Years, Christmas Eve, dinners on the cruise and all the extras; boots, hats, gloves, winter jackets, sun screen, sunglasses, sun hat, beach towels, snow boots, flip flops, etc.  Scott meanwhile had to pack for....well.... Scott.  The men always have it easier!

We made it down to PA just in time to unpack a little bit, set up the sleeping arrangements, shower and get everyone dressed for Christmas Eve mass.

Baby Joey dressed for church.

Our sweet Katie bug dressed in her Christmas Eve dress.

And our not so sweet looking Katie. 

Peek.

She loved her dress so much.  She kept swishing her skirt.

Nana and Papa's Christmas tree with a few presents beneath it.

 After mass we went to our cousin's home in York, PA for their 16th annual Christmas Eve party.  It was so much fun as always with way to much food and games for all.

I was trying to get them to sit for a pic.

Family photo.

Scott and Mikey don't like to many pics, so after the obligatory family photo they scrammed.

Decorations for the party.

Dessert table.

Tons of food.

Katie and Joey playing with the train set underneath the tree.

Found her eating a bon-bon with a hat on.

Present time!

He was super excited when he opened a truck pez dispenser.

Finished basement with a pool table, and open bar.

Katie and Ally "playing" pool.

I love this picture.  Katie expecting a drink from the bar....while Scott and Danny are oblivious.

Again, everyone oblivious when she got her hands on a drink.  It didn't have alcohol in it.  I checked. :)

She found a fire to gaze into.

Me and the hub.
