We celebrated Christmas Eve with my family at Grandma & Grandpa Ross's house. It started off with socializing and a delicious dinner (helped by rolls and a homemade pumpkin pie that Angela made).

Carson was extremely excited for Christmas and loved seeing his cousins, but still gave Tucker plenty of attention.

Angela, Danielle, and Joanna (accompanied by their infants) sang a song about babies and handed a picture of all of their infants to Grandpa Ross.

Carson gave the pinata a few good hits. He didn't mind not breaking it since he collected a huge bag-full of toys and candy.

Grandpa-Claus paid us a visit and treated everyone to a large bag of candy. Neither Tucker nor Carson cried (although it took a fair amount of work to prepare Carson). Santa can be pretty freaky to toddlers.

It was wonderful seeing the family and spend this special time with them!
