Christmas Eve Family Dinner

One of the family traditions that we have is a family meal together on Christmas Eve.  This is the "little kids" table.  Because our meal is done by candlelight and knowing that candles should not be on the table with the smallest members of our family, they were given a small lantern.  And oh how they loved it and how they love just being together.

 

This photo is partly staged.  When my nephew realized I was taking a picture of him and his cousin, he decided to pull a face.  I love his personality...even if he's a bit dramatic.  As a side note, the garland in the middle is white lights with lots of colored ribbons.  It was another thing to have on the table instead of lighted candles.

Lots of yummy food at the Christmas eve dinner.  In fact, we love getting together because we love the company and enjoy the food. 

Here's one of my gorgeous nieces.  Doesn't she have a beautiful smile?!

And here's another beautiful niece!
