We had the traditional Italian Christmas Eve dinner...

This year we had a full house for Christmas! My brother and his family were here with their children, and Nonny and Poppy were here too. I just noticed that I don't have many pictures of Aunt Leigh...oops! They came on Christmas Eve and left the day after Christmas. Nonny and Poppy stayed until Sunday. The kids had fun playing with their cousins (who they haven't seen in a LONG time) and the grown ups had fun playing new games while the kids were sleeping.

I loved seeing the kids play together while Poppy played Christmas music (and the older kids sang the tunes). We didn't end up making it to church for Christmas Eve because of the dinner schedule but we did have some great family time.
