Christmas at the grandparents'

After Christmas Eve stuff at our own house, we head south.  We go to church with Jeff's parents at the children's mass.  Then we mooch from our parents for dinner (this year it was my parents), do some Christmas Eve traditions at my parent's house and then spend the night there.  We do Christmas morning gift opening with my family, spend the afternoon with Jeff's family, and then eat dinner with my parents and whoever else shows up.  We love getting to see everyone!
