Christmas Eve

These are out of order, but this picture was taken just hours before Santa and his reindeer arrived on our roof top! I'm sure you can tell by their wide eyes how excited they were! They are also dawning their new action figure pajamas. It is tradition in J-P's family(now ours) to open one gift before bed and it's always new Christmas pajamas!

We spent Christmas Eve over at J-P's sister and brother-in-laws house.


Thanks guys for the wonderful dinner and evening together!
We ate borscht, you know..... beet soup! It's also tradition in J-P's family to have a Polish dinner on Christmas Eve. J-P's Mom's side is all Polish. No pollock jokes please!(We've heard them all)


This is perrogi, basically dumplings with potatoes and cheese inside. They also come in different varieties, like sour kraut, meat and numerous other combinations.

I brought the dessert.....not my favorite. I tried an experiment and put a pumpkin filling in a chocolate crust. The two combined ingredients canceled out each of the flavors. Won't try that again.

Cousins in the kitchen!

Love the PJs! That was a tradition when I was growing up too! Also, all present wrapped was one of ours. Ryan and I discussed that forever! Glad you had a good night!
