Christmas Eve celebration with The Gakstatter Family

Every Christmas Eve we celebrate Christmas with the Gakstatter side of the family and Opa & Grandma's house. The kids played Christmas Bingo and then had to find an ornament on the tree that matched the picture they picked out. After that the kids opened up some gifts and then we opened our gifts (we exchanged names this year). Then the kids of course opened up more gifts and then more gifts! They had a great time running around playing together. And we ate some wonderful food, we did appetizers this year and there lots of different appetizers to choose from! The girls were worn out from the fun evening.
