We had the big Paquette family gathering on Christmas Eve this year, although I did not take a ton of pictures:

| The girl cousins looking at Harper's game |
 |
| Abby made this meme after Harper put this headband on me and then kept insisting there was nothing there |
 |
| Uncle Kevin's "touch the ceiling game" was very popular |
 |
| Still going, after a clothing change |

| Harper wants in on that action |
I got the idea from a display in the store, but printed out free bingo cards online (everyone's was different). We actually watched a Netflix Christmas movie (Exmas, at Steph's suggestion), but same concept. The bingo element added a lot of fun to the evening (and each of our boards had multiple bingos):
Gammy gifted us a dinner at the Melting Pot for Hanukkah, and we decided that we would use it to celebrate the start of winter break for the boys before we left for NY:
Although Abby saw the live tour and Kevin and I saw the concert film in the theater, Abby wanted to watch it all together, and I decided we might as well have a little party around it:
 |
| Abby and I made bracelets for everyone with favorite titles and lines |
 |
| I put pictures of the individual bracelets at the end of the post |

Still catching up on some holiday pictures. We took our annual trek to Staunton to see A Christmas Carol at the Shakespeare Center:
 |
| It felt colder than usual in the theater, and Abby and I took advantage of the afghans they have on loan (we were in the first row, so you can also see some of the stage decoration) |
They got cool jackets to wear at the pep rally, and also to mark them clearly as a group in the airport. We dropped him off at CHS around noon on December 28th:
We went to their holiday concert and Benji kindly let me take a picture of him with Santa:
