Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was at the Clarks this year. Dad had started chemo in October and wasn't always feeling that well so we decided this would be the best place to celebrate together. As always, we have the most delicious Christmas Eve dinner! The Martinellis started flowing early!

Ryan was on steak duty this year.

So grateful for this family of mine!

The kid table...

and look who graduated to the adult table!

Christmas Eve traditions - singling carols, reading the Christmas story from the scriptures, and Dad reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas".

I made some delicious trifle for dessert!

Scrumptious!!

Love this beautiful daughter of mine!

And then a wonderful - and fun - photo shoot with my parents and siblings. What a treasure these pictures are to me.

We just can't NOT be goofy! Dad sat through all our shenanigans with just a smile on his face.

Back at our house the kids got to open their new Christmas pajamas.

Our beautiful Christmas tree in the front room...

and this year we got two for the back. I absolutely love them and this fabulous picture of my cute kids. And of course Cleo, ha ha!
