A Very Merry Christmas Eve 2010

Uncle Mike hosted the West Family Christmas Eve party at his home in Draper. I have so many girlhood memories of good times with my cousins there, it was nice to be back. Christmas Eve is such a special holiday and always has been my favorite. You've got the fun mixed in with the spiritual.
Lydia sure had fun with her Uncle Matthew
And Tyler had a blast with this - cousin Brad's chinchilla.
Lots of family
Isn't Lydia's Christmas dress beautiful?
And so is she. I love this picture!
One of our traditions is to play Christmas music on the chimes. Everyone gets a chime and is responsible for that note in the music. It gets loud and sometimes sounds good, sometimes not so much when people aren't paying attention - but that's part of the fun!

Even Lydia got really into it.


Always my favorite part of the night is driving home when we're all quiet and tired, watching all the Christmas lights go by, looking at the stars and thinking of how it was so long ago when Baby Jesus was born, and anticipating Christmas Day tomorrow. Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
