Today is my first post for Evalina's 12 Days of Blogland (see badge on my sidebar) so I thought that I would post about our fabulous Christmas Eve tradition which we celebrate every second Christmas Eve (every other year, the family friends whom we share this tradition with are in Hawaii visiting relatives).
So, every second year the two families who have known each other since the two babies of the family (my DS2 and his counterpart) were 18 months old come together to celebrate Christmas Eve. Last night we had BBQ lamb and pork, roast potato, honeyed baby carrots and asparagus. Then pecan pie and eggnog. MY DD also made Christmas cupcakes. We had such a fun time chatting about old memories and enjoying each other's company. Here are some photos of the evening:

Well, must go and do some last minute wrapping and, of course, some stitching.
A Merry Christmas from me and my family to you and yours.
Love you all, my stitchy friends. Your support, friendship and blogs have meant a lot to me this year.
