Christmas Eve is always a busy day for us! We started early in the morning so we could travel to visit Grandma and Grandpa Riechmann at the nursing home. We needed to get our visit in before lunch so Grandpa wouldn't miss eating!! While we were there we also saw Uncle Ryan, Meghan, and Tanner! When we got home, we ate a quick lunch and then had another visitor. Aunt Sandy (Dustin's Aunt) came by to bring the kids some clothes. She (along with Aunt Donna) always buy the kids one awesome outfit. The kids look forward to it, and in the past couple of years, have worn the outfits on Christmas day. After Aunt Sandy left, we got ready for church (a feat in itself), gathered our gifts, and headed to mass at 3:15, which didn't start until 4:00, but you have to get there that early to get a seat! The mass was lovely, the kids mostly behaved, and then we headed to Mimi and Papa's.
