Bednarz Family Christmas Eve

My mom is here.

First time I've seen my momma in almost a year. So, if I'm slow to answer emails, twitter messages, facebook, etc., this is why.

While I was waiting for her to arrive, I pulled some of my favorite images from our Bednarz Christmas Eve. Jason and Emily, were here and I LOVE celebrating Christmas with them and Devin's parent's. There's always lots of laughter and usually a present mishap or two.

And Davida's tree is always a big pain the ass and FAVORITE of mine. It's a gorgeous tree. And it has some of the prettiest ornaments!

Santa brought snow to Lubbock for Christmas! Not enough for a snowman that night, but I saw many around out neighborhood Christmas morning.

But the kids were ready for Christmas gifts from Chief and Grandma. They were pretty sure they knew what they were getting, and were definitely ready to start using them. LOL

BUT first, an awkward family photo. They love doing these!

Chief had a card from Emily and Jason that was pretty funny. It was all about fish and used the names of fish in the greeting. When he got to the part about "this cod" and said it that way, we all had fits of giggles. He sounded just like the Wisconsin bunch with their fun accents. Too funny.

Jack and his BEST angry birds face. LOVE THIS!

And the BEATS arrived! How pretty are these?

After gift opening and dinner, we got all dressed up for Midnight Mass. We had a wonderful evening!
