Christmas Eve morning sights and sounds of the Favre Farm.
Christmas Eve found me racing back to Grosse Ile to have dinner at my folks house with my sister and her husband, my nieces and nephews, and my sister's husbands parents before driving my sister and the kids home and spending the night at Corey and Steve's house.

I had to fill in for Steve since he was working until 3:30am. On the way home we detoured a bit to look at Christmas lights (one of my favorite holiday activities). Once at my sister's I got to open my presents from Corey, Steve, and the kids which included a framed picture of my nieces and nephews, some lovely holiday jewelry, and a pair of wonderful red and black polka-dot socks and a pair of light-up Christmas socks. We also played a little Wii Extreme Sports Challenge and watched both versions of How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carey and Dr. Suess).

Needless to say, very little sleep was had that night, and Aunt Jenny had to put her foot down on the kid's 2:30am wake-up proposal. We ended up actually getting up at 6:00am instead under certain threats...
