Even though Christmas Eve is technically a part of Christmas, I love the day so much I almost consider it its own holiday! I love the laid back morning, easy early afternoon, late afternoon Mass and an evening full of family and great food. Having Emme with us this year made it my favorite Christmas Eve yet!
Pre-Mass pictures.
I teared up all throughout Mass while holding Emme and thinking about the magical birth of baby Jesus. We are so blessed!
Christmas Eve Dinner.
Every year my Mom's side of the family gets together at my Aunt Donna's. We have the most delicious dinner and enjoy spending quality time with everyone!
Emme and Natalie had the best time together!
I couldn't figure out who loved who more?!
And Grace is never too far way from her sissy.
The back of Em's dress... SO ADORABLE, right?!
