Christmas Eve Eve


Christmas Eve Eve is one of my favorite nights of the year. For the last 7 or so years my family has had a tradition of inviting another family or two over to eat delicious hors d'ourves and sing Christmas carols. When Spencer and I started dating we invited the Hill family to join us because they live so close. It's been so fun to have them become part of the tradition. This year it ended up being just the Bogners and Hills. It was great, but it truely wasn't the same without the Mongomery family and all their silliness. Hopefully they will be able to make it back next year. Things usually get a little silly with my mom singing like a "Church Lady" and an appearance by Laurel's alter ego "Wanana" (soft "a"). Honestly, few things in this world make me laugh harder than miss Wanana. Here are a few of the pictures from the evening.

My mom at her "post" for the evening. We are all so grateful that after her stroke last March she is still able to play piano for us and do all the things that make Christmas perfect.


Trenton, Jessica, Russell and Carly

We made the "Newly Weds" sing a duet for us.

Katie, what a fun, fun Christmas for you guys! And, I agree, nothing better than having more family to love your little ones!
