Christmas Eve 2010

We always spend Christmas Eve with Mitch's folks, so we headed up there on the 23rd to start our festivities! We spent the 23rd hanging out and getting ready for the following night's activities. We ran a few errands and just enjoyed catching up. Mitch's mom cooked dinner that night for us and Mitch's sister's families, his brother, and both of his grandparents. Most of the dinner was spent with us in laughter! There is no telling what is going to happen when everyone gets together! The next day (Christmas Eve) was spent in the kitchen preparing the big meal for that night and watching "A Christmas Story and "Christmas Vacation", both which are usual favorites!!! We sat down to a huge, delicious meal together around 6 and then played Dirty Santa and opened gifts afterwards!! We had a blast!! Mitch, Luci, and I left around 9:00 that night and headed back to Fort Smith so we could spend Christmas morning at our house and Christmas afternoon at my parent's house. (More posts on those later!)
