We celebrated Christmas Eve with the annual Rose Family Party. This is a picture of my Mom's gorgeous Christmas Tree. I wasn't brave enough to attempt a tree in our condo this year with two crazy toddlers (a tad bit "grinchy" I know), so luckily Ethan got his Christmas tree fix at Grandma's. Luke did some very creative re-decorating on the bottom half a few times, but I don't think any ornaments were actually broken, or at least my Mom didn't tell me if they were!
So happy together!
Curl ribbon is a toy in itself!
A rare shot of all three Rose siblings together: David, Danielle, & Audra.
After dinner my Dad leads us in a round of Christmas Carols. One of these years we need to start memorizing the second verse of a few songs!
Here is my 91 year old Grandfather, Guy Rose, with all of his grand-daughters who were in attendance this year. In keeping with tradition, Grandpa always puts a bow from one of his presents on his head to make us laugh. We all miss Grandma Rose a lot and feel her presence with us most at big family gatherings, where she loved to sit around the dinner table and chat(and eat See's chocolates!).
It was a wonderful Christmas Eve!
