Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is one of our busiest days of the year and always goes by way too fast. We started out our afternoon at Christmas mass with Tim's family. Darren did very well in mass and even tried singing along with the choir! After mass we headed back to Tim's parents house to place our fast food orders......When Tim was little fast food was a rare treat in their household. So a tradition started that after mass they could get any fast food they wanted, if you wanted a burger from McDonalds and fries from Burger King and two tacos from Jack in the Box that's what you get! The tradition has escalated into somewhat of a contest since Ron joined the family!
After eating until we feel sick, we were off to Pleasanton to Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Mike's house. Once there we ate again ( just desserts though)! After a round of White Elephant gift card and a game of regular White Elephant we played an awesome game of Left Right Center. We played three games and me, my sister and my brother were the three big winners!
Unfortunately my camera battery died before I could get a group picture at Aunt Cheryl's house, but we were in good company with Aunt Cheryl, Uncle Mike, Nanny, Papa, Grandma, Pappy, Joey, Kim, Dan and cousins Lauren, Scott, Adam and Jessica.

Group pic before all the fast food.
