The Talbert Report: Christmas Eve and Day

Christmas Eve and Day

We spend Christmas Eve with Stephen's family, exchanging gifts and doing Chinese gift exchange, eating tons of food and singing Christmas carols until our voices (or children) give out. We spent Christmas Day with my family, exchanging gifts and eating tons of food as well! Post-Christmas we go to Georgia to see the rest of Stephen's family, but that will be a separate blog. Here are the pictures from Christmas Eve:

And here are the pictures from Christmas Day at Granny's house:

And here are the pictures from our house Christmas morning (after about five pictures my camera battery died, so all the other pictures are on the video camera. I will eventually upload them!)
