We had a wonderful time on Christmas Eve at Uncle Mike and Aunt Shannon's home in Chapel Hill, TN.  Thankfully, everyone was healthy and most everyone was able to make it.  We had a lot of good food (too much) and fun exchanging gifts!  I'm glad that we took lots of pictures this year.  It was Monroe's first Christmas Eve celebration and as you can see, he's enjoying his new Olaf.  Uncle Mike opened a gag gift that was supposedly from me.  It was a pair of crazy boxer shorts with the Grinch on them that said "Naughty or Nice".  It was a prank pulled by Uncle Phil.  For many years, our family has sung a few songs before we open gifts.  Several years ago, my dad started leading everyone in the 12 days of Christmas where everyone has a part that they help sing.  We did that again this year.  Abbie had a wonderful time doing the "5 golden rings".   She really got into it and was very dramatic about it.  It was fun to watch her.
