Christmas dinner

Our Christmas dinner this year was....breakfast!  It's nice to get a break from the "traditional" Christmas dinner that takes so long to prepare.  And after all, we had pretty much the same thing just a month previously for Thanksgiving. 

I actually remembered the Christmas crackers this year!

 My mil got in on the fun

 as did my mom.

 I even got Mr. GV to pose with me for a picture.  (And immediately after, he took that paper crown off as fast as he could. lol) 

 I'm so glad my in-laws came over for dinner.  We spent so many years running from one house to the next.  Last year was the first year we didn't go to their house on Christmas Day (although we have never missed a Christmas Eve) and the only reason we didn't then was because Mr. GV had to work all day and we were waiting for him in the evening to do our family Christmas.  I see a new pattern developing---the in-laws can now come to us! 

After my sister and her boyfriend left, Macy decided she could finally play with her new toy in peace, and the squeaking commenced.
