Christmas Eve

Lucian's mom's family hosts a giant pizza party each year around Christmas. It's nice to see the very large family in one place and for all the cousins to catch up and visit. It was our kick off to the holiday this year on the 23rd.

Our niece, Lydia, performed in the Nutcracker this year, so the whole family went to a show on Christmas Eve. Lydia was an angel in the show. The group of young girls was absolutely adorable. 

After the show we gathered at Lucian's parents for the first round of food and gift opening.

We made it home in time to leave out treats for Santa, however, Kyle fell asleep in the car. Luckily big sis was up for the task. She made sure to leave a healthy orange for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.
