For Christmas Eve, we started the day off with a walk with the Ross's to the Fry's that is less than a mile away because they have a Starbucks inside! We all got coffees and walked home. It was nice to be able to see them that morning! We then went to our church's first ever Christmas Eve service. After that, we went to the Pagel house where we had our first ever appetizer competition. Each couple brought an appetizer to share and we voted on the best. It was a lot of fun and very yummy. We then decorated cookies and opened gifts. Each person draws someone else's name for gifts, so we have to accurately guess who had us before opening our gift. It's a fun tradition we started last year. We ended the night with Barb and Denny opening a box of blue balloons that revealed baby's gender. Denny was pulling for a boy this whole time so he was stoked! Barb was as well.

Christmas morning was spent at my parent's house. My parents have always done a paper chase for us since we were kids. So this year Matt and I sent my parents on a paper chase and the last clue let them know that the box they opened would reveal baby's gender. They were so excited and both guessed girl before opening it. Haha. Surprise… 4th grandson is on the way. They are both thrilled. Boys are fun! ;) We hung out there until early evening. We went home for a couple hours and then to the Ross house where we met some of our friends for appetizers and wine/beer tasting (water for me!). It was a nice day!

Great family picture! Love how everyone is together! LOVE the pure joy and excitement that is visible on your parents faces when finding out the grandchild #3 is a boy! What a fun way to share it! Your hair looks beautiful too!! Looks like a wonderful time celebrating with your family!
