Emily hopped up to help Grandma play Christmas songs:
Hm.. what's down there?

Jimmy and I and the stick tree:

Christmas Eve at Grandmas!!
I love Christmas Eve at Grandma's. We eat roast beef sandwiches on homemade rolls, Grandma's potato salad and beans, mom made fruit salad, chips veggies and dip, tons of cookies and the best Christmas punch ever!! The kids open a couple gifts from Grandma and then we all head over to the Christmas Eve service. Then we went back to Grandmas for family bonding and Christmas Carols around the piano. We lucked out and had perfect driving weather, no ice or snow! The kids did very well considering all the traveling and the late night. Emily enjoyed dancing and kept asking Grandma to play frosty the snowman and then jingle bells. She even got up on the bench and helped Grandma play the piano!!
