Christmas Eve

So Christmas Eve is a crazy fun day for us when we are in Jacksonville. We get to see pretty much all of the Cato/Beck side of the family. We have a great lunch with the Cato crew, and get some quality time in. Then later in the afternoon we head to the Cooner (Beck) big family Christmas party. It is a crazy day, with a good bit of driving, but it is completely worth it. We had such a good time seeing all of our family. The boys loved playing with all of their cousins and searching through "new" houses to see what they could find. At the Cooner party we play a white elephant game. I ended up with a beautiful mini cake topper and Justin got a dart set. That has been set up in the garage and we few "games" have been played after the boys are in bed. No score has been kept, but we have fun together. So here are some shots through the day. Sorry I forgot to pull the camera out for the Cooner party, but there was lots of fun and memories made.

Hanging out before we had to get dressed for our crazy day.

And they were both looking and smiling. What a treat. :)
