Christmas Eve Dinner party

We have started a new tradition... We host the family Christmas Eve dinner at our house.  We do a gift exchange, adn a nice dinner.  we usually play the "chimes", and have a puppet show of the nativity.  It was a lot of fun this year.  We had a few new-comers and a few that couldn't make it.  But all in all, we had a great time.  We even got to video chat with our favorite soldier in Iraq, Sargeant Grandma Lynn!  We sure missed her this year!  Here are some pics of the night...
 I made Rudolf cupcakes for the kids!  They loved them!
 The Table.
 Konnor hugs galore!
 Kim brought us beautiful flowers for the food table!
 The place settings.  Take note of the place cards... super cute huh!  Andrea Christensen helped me with that idea!  She rocks.
 Aunt Kellie, Uncle Joe, and Kase.
 Konnor, Grandpa Keith, and Kaylee snuggling before the party.
 Kaylee, Grandpa Paul, and Nana playing around!
 THE Brownie Trifle!
 A roll wreath that got pulled apart before i  could get a pic.
 In the cup:  Brownie Trifle.  The pie was a fudge bottom candy crunch pie!  YUM!  And a white chocolate truffle.
 Joe and I got to play in the kitchen.  We plated the desserts! 
 I got a little snuggle time with my girl!
 My handsome hubby opening a white elephant gift.
 My mom came for Christmas this year!  First time ever!
 Check out Kase's shirt!  Kinda funny.  Grandma Lynn says, it is made in China.  I believe her.
