Frankly Speaking: And so this is Christmas...Eve.

And so this is Christmas...Eve.

We have one of the best traditions, and I *think* this was the 30th year. (maybe 29th depending on if we started when I was 0 or 1) but regardless, we have been doing this literally as long as I can remember.

Diane was my babysitter, and her family has always been an extention of my family. Every year we go out to breakfast on Christmas eve together. We have grown from 9 to nearly 20 people and changed locations a few times, but it is this breakfast that signals to me that Christmas has begun! For the past 10+ years our breakfast location has been Mimi's. Mmmmmmm!

Alice has proposed the idea of putting together a photo album of all our years doing this, I would LOVE for this to happen this year. Such a special part of my life!

We try to get a few photos of everyone after breakfast too. We did get a group photo that I will have to get from someone elses camera... but until then....

These are the third-generation breakfast-goers ;-)
