christmas eve!

We hosted Christmas Eve for the 3rd time this year. I really wanted to start hosting one of the holidays so I could see my family and am so glad we started this. Johns mom does a lot of the cooking and makes an amazing linguine with clams and shrimp scampi, this to die for seafood salad and homemade breads. I make a bunch of appetizers and then dessert! My grandma, dad and Drew and Chelsea came over this year plus Mimi. We had so much fun!
