Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve found us at Grace Episcopal Church.

We were so happy to be able to worship in person!

It is a BEAUTIFUL church! 

Inside

and out!

There were hundreds of these needlepointed kneelers. I wanted to take pictures of them all!

Carolyn and Blake

There was a live Nativity scene and Santa Claus!

After church, we had drinks at a rooftop bar with the Suiters while waiting for our reservation. Dinner was at Burwell's and had five enthusiastic thumbs up! Coleman ordered their signature meal-and cooked his own steak on a 700 degree rock they brought to the table. We also tried Beef Tartare... 3/5 Brauns liked it. I was NOT one of them.

After dinner, we went back to the villa and put on our PJs. This year's Christmas shirts were appropriate times three!

Christian said he needed dress socks-Carolyn was happy to oblige!

Coleman's wrapping paper of choice never disappoints.

The bodysuit Aunt Amy gave Carolyn was not well received by the three men of the family.

A flurry of texting their displeasure to Aunt Amy! :D

Playing the game Aunt Amy sent the boys

And we finally were all together to watch Merry Madagascar. 

Happy Julianuary!

Our sweet dog sitters sent us this pic. Apparently it snowed on Christmas Eve at home. Lucy does not seem to be a fan!
