As always, we finished up celebrating Calvin's birthday with a couple of hours to spare before heading to Grandma Shirley and Grandpa Evan's house for the first Christmas Eve party of the day. Our family gets bigger every year, and I love to see so many of us together on Christmas Eve.
We enjoyed a delicious dinner to get started. We filled up the downstairs with plenty of adults and kids alike. There's a table full of trouble if I've ever seen one!
Violet hung out with her BFF, cousin Jenna, and tried out the new holiday Snapchat filters.
After dinner, the kids began eyeing all of those beautifully-wrapped packages under the tree. . .
. . . but Grandma Jo and Aunt Candy had an even more fun game planned for them! The kids were separated into two teams to play the plastic wrap ball game, and they came away with all sorts of goodies.
Of course, it got pretty competitive, and Oliver was disappointed that he just never seemed to be able to roll doubles. The adults enjoyed watching the kids tear into the big balls of plastic wrap.
We love Grandpa Shirley and Grandpa Evan and are so thankful that they open their home to this whole crew every Christmas Eve!
