On Christmas Eve day we drove down to Colorado Springs to spend a couple of days with my family. We continued our 8+ year tradition of going to a local Chinese restaurant with another family after Christmas Eve Mass... Chris and I were very nervous about bringing the kids to a nicer restaurant after their bedtime for an extended meal. It was pretty amazing how good the kids were! Jonathan literally sat, very happily, in a high chair for a little over 2 hours! Then, our friend put Catherine to sleep right before our food showed up. It was a wonderful evening of joyful celebration of the birth of Our Savior.
The following morning my brother and his family came down for the day... we opened gifts, ate lots of food and played Wii. Again, another wonderful day of celebration.
Here are few fun pictures of the time down with my family. There were so many great pictures, it was hard to choose!!
