Christmas Eve Night 2010

Christmas Eve was fantastic again this year. We went up into the mountains to spend the evening at Aunt Diane's house with the Zim Fam. The only downside was that with the mix of curvy roads, baby crying, noxious fumes from the car (it just had started having a problem), and early pregnancy nausea, the drive was a little long for me. But we survived!

Here are Andreas and Great Grandma Z. She was very brave and volunteered to hold Andreas while he ate (or dropped) a few things from the appetizer table.


Around the food table. We had amazing appetizers and delicious soups. Just right for Christmas Eve! And then a few amazing desserts to wash it all down!

By the way, Aunt Diane was especially generous to Andreas by getting him some finger puppets and a car. Did I mention that last year she gave him the "twilight turtle" that projects stars on the ceiling? He absolutely loves it and plays with it every night (thanks Aunt Diane and family!). Grandma gave him a book too which he always loves, so he was a happy camper.
