Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we ventured to Millie Branch for our annual gathering with the Carmichael Family at Aunt Kaye & Uncle GG's house. After grazing of some fabulous heavy hor d'oeuvres, we had our traditional gift opening which always includes a few surprises. This year was no exception. Uncle Charles seemed to be the main "victim" this year with an autographed collector's plate from President-elect Barack Obama among a few other items.

Aunt Kaye went all out as usual and the house was so incredibly decorated. It looked like something from the pages of Southern Living Magazine. I don't know if these images really do it justice. It was just beautiful! Yes, there are SIX different trees!!

Before we left the kids changed into their Christmas PJs in hopes they would fall asleep on the way home. ;) Here's a cute pic in front of the tree.
