You've come a Long way, baby

The first Christmas I spent with Matt's family I remember admiring Sadie's beautifully decorated living room and seeing my very own stocking hanging on the mantle. I was so touched. Now I've been celebrating the holiday with them for 6 years, and it is always a great time. Christmas Eve, in particular, is full of wonderful traditions:

Eating tamales, bagels and latkes

Wearing matching pajamas from Santa

Watching Scrooge (the Albert Finney version)

Playing Onze

(I don't like to brag, but I am really good at Onze, the most fun card game ever.)

Here we are playing Onze in our matching pajamas:


Here is the table after I pulled into an early lead:

Unrelated, but adorable:

Celebrating Christmas with Larkin tomorrow is going to be so much fun. I hope Santa comes tonight!
