Christmas Eve at Grandpa G's

The Belt tradition is to go to Christmas Eve Mass and then head to Papa G's house for Christmas. This is the 2nd year we have opted out of Christmas Eve Mass and attended Christmas Day. Even though it is a really late night it works better for our chaotic family in the end because of the routine of church in the morning.

Christmas Eve at Grandpa G's is usually a lot of fun and it seems to be more entertaining every year! The "little" kids are starting to get bigger and be more fun/ornery. :)

Andi excited to see what's in her big present from Papa G.

TJ even more excited to lay in her present which was really a doll bed to keep in her room!

TJ opening his present, which of course we had to open up right away!

TJ made fast friends with "Aunt Pat" who made the mistake of playing "Ring Around the Rosy" a couple of times with Andi, Sophie and TJ upstairs.

TJ (the broken record!) telling Pat "one more time!"

Papa Jim and Gma Kate keeping Coop company.
