Then we piled into the van and headed to Aunt Amanda & Uncle Miles' home for the annual Laverdiere Christmas Eve celebration. We started out before the Christmas party celebrating Christopher's Birthday with an ice cream cake and presents with the cousins. Thanks Memere & Jim! Everyone had a blast--as you can see.....
Then it was time for us to exchange our gifts with the cousins. There was tons of wrapping paper and super fun presents everywhere! Anneli was pretty excited with all her gifts, like her Strawberry Shortcake dolls! Christopher was delighted with his gifts too, like his Coast Guard LEGOS! He got some books too, which he even started to read while we were there! Crazy boy!
Then everyone else started arriving to Amanda & Miles home where we enjoyed each other's company and had a nice dinner. We also took a bunch of annual family photos around the Christmas tree, but I didn't take many pics--it was pretty confusing with all the cameras snapping pictures. If you are reading this and you have some pics (like our family one and the cousin one), send them our way! Thanks!!
Then we headed home for our annual late, long ride home. (We even saw a lonely lost reindeer run across 495 in Auburn!) The kids fell asleep and Shaun & I chatted so we would stay awake. As usual I think I fell asleep around Hartford. Sorry Shaun! I tried to stay awake! We were up for a bit getting our treasures out and then off to bed we went.....
