Christmas Eve

I love spending Christmas Eve at my Grandma Genny's house. It is truly an event. We have multiple traditions that I look forward to every year. It just wouldn't be Christmas without the pipe chimes. I love this picture of Ty with my Grandma Kay. He is a social kid and loves people.
After a big dinner we always read the Christmas story from the bible. When the cousins were younger we used to dress up as Mary, Joseph and the shepards. This year my cousin Dan played Christmas Carols on his guitar. Good times....
It actually takes a bit of focus to play the Christmas chimes. Everybody watches the chart waiting for their number to come up, so they can bang their chime. We play a dozen or so Christmas carols. I love it.

Yep, I love the chimes.
