The previous evening, we had our traditional Christmas Eve appie-fest at my parents'. The whole fam was there, so it was a great evening. We opened presents tonight because my brother and his girlfriend were heading back to Vancouver first thing in the morning.

It was so much fun to watch my nieces open their presents, and then laughing at a puppet show that my dad put on with their gifts. It was also great fun to see my mom after a few glasses of wine...
