After a great couple of days downtown, we had dinner with our good friend Brian. Lame, we didn't take any pictures of us at his house. The next day, the boys went paint balling. I took one for the team and stayed home to cook prime rib and Yorkshire pudding for dinner.

Finally, the 24th came, and it was time to go to St. Louis! We were all so excited to see Grandma & Grandpa Farmer and the rest of the Farmer Clan. Aunt Wendy & Uncle Nile were so nice to let us stay with them and of course, they made everything perfect for us. We felt so welcomed and loved! Christmas Eve felt just like it did when we were kids. We had all of our favorites-Toasted raviolis, crab rangoon, little smokies, shrimp, just to name a few. Aunt Karen even made my favorite spinach salad for me. So sweet! We had enough food for about 500 in true Farmer fashion. After dinner, it was time for great grand kids to put on the Nativity. I can't believe how many little ones there were. The Nativity is always my favorite part of Christmas Eve. And, our next favorite part is Uncle Tom handing out presents to all of the kids. This year it was flashlights. It would have been more, but he didn't have time to go to Ikea! He cracks me up.
