Christmas Eve Eve

On Christmas Eve Eve, we headed over to Elaine's to celebrate Christmas before Craig headed off to work (I always say every year that it is sad that he flies on Christmas Day, but because of his selflessness - and love for the extra Christmas money - another dad or mom is able to be home with their kids on Christmas morning). Papa, Theresa, and Tom joined us in NC for the festivities. It was a night of good food and love. And always a lot of laughter with that crew.

The only person missing was my Bubba, who's birthday would have been today. She's been gone from this world for quite some time, but so close in my heart and thought of every day.
