Chapter Two: "The Eve's of Christmas." Otherwise titled "I'm milking this for all it's worth."
Did you know we do two Christmases? and two Christmas eves?
Well we do. It's labor intensive and when we have kids we'll give up and switch year by year but for now, hey, we just don't like missing out on any little part of it! Our parents live 3 minutes driving distance apart. We'd be crazy not to.
So this Dec. 24th we spent the eve in two parts. First a yummy feast and a Nativity scene by the adorable niece-nephew collective and then... another yummy feast and some gingerbread candy creations at mi casa with the Andersen Fam (who by the way are going to be fam. thanks to Courtney and PJ's marriage this summer. Yes we are intentionally taking over Danville by marriage. It's like the mafia.)
Pictoras! (please note the final picture. Tara always makes her gingerbread house hilariously morbid. Look for the gummy bear slaying the mother's animal cookie.)

haha Tara. Your family has grown and is growing so much! If everyone was in one place, your Christmas will be like a 150 person sit down banquet dinner.
also FYI the book Phil gave me changed my life.
Why didn't my gingerbread house make the cut? What the heck? Mine was at least better that the steve/molly tower of terror.
