christmas eve

Christmas was on Christmas Eve at Mom and Dad's this year and...

...look who joined us, the Birthday girl!  My two mom's enjoying a cup of good cheer!  I am so glad that you joined us mom.  I know that it was not easy.

We unwrapped our gifts with the oldest going first..which would be my dad.  We got him a belt that I wrapped in a Hallmark card box and Kiely said, "They sell belts at Hallmark?" 

The boys picked out this koozie last year after Christmas for Uncle Troy.  My brother has needed one for a LONG time.  The one he had I nicknamed the H1N1 Koozie.  It had to have sooo many germs on it...as you can see below.

It is a petrified crack leather mess!  Enjoy your new Colts one Troy!

Mom and Dad got this cute rock for Ellen.

Here I am opening my parents gift to me..."Cutco your finger off" knives for the Fripp house! I have these at home, thanks to my Grandma, and really needed them at Fripp.

My sweet girl!  Here is the necklace we got her. 

Since Graham is the youngest he was last to open so he was getting a little restless.

Here is Tyler Troy opening up his gift.  I love to see him laugh!

Becky, with that million dollar smile, and the necklace we got her.

Here is Chad opening up what he thought was a corn hole game...it wasn't!  I love that I was able to surprise him!

Evan's turn!  He is working hard to open some cologne that Troy and Ellen got him.

Finally, Graham's turn!

I love seeing all of the smiles!  It was such a good evening and I am so thankful for my family...and for Marjorie joining us!

Now, with presents all set up for the morning I am off to bed!  I just noticed that the wrapping paper I wrapped the gifts in this year matches the damask on my blog..things that make you go hmmmmm?
