Christmas Eve

It seems that 3 years ago when we were here, everyone disappeared for the holidays. It's funny what a few deployments will do to everyone's need to travel over the holidays. A few of our close friends in Virginia stuck around for the holidays. We invited them over for football and dinner on Christmas eve. What a wonderful evening it was! And what a good excuse it was to get the house put together quickly!

 Glenn made a yummy roast beast for dinner. I think it might be a new Christmas Eve tradition!

I had fun decorating the table and getting to use all of my china that I only bust out 2 or 3 times a year. Still glad I registered for it though!

From L to R: Isabel and Marcy, Chris, Me, Glenn, Zach, Ben, Bridget and Amy (and baby Ella to be). And Marcy's mom Donna is taking the picture.

What a wonderful day to spend the holiday with our Navy "family".
