Christmas Eve at the Crandell's

After we spent a few hours at the Edmunds' on Christmas Eve, we headed over to the Crandell's. Every Christmas Eve we gather downstairs in the basement around the fireplace. We have cocoa, soup, crackers and cheese balls, and a variety of desserts. We do more chatting and hanging out and then Grandpa reads the Christmas story from the Bible. This year, Uncle Jim brought his puppies so the kids could see them one more time before they went to their new homes as Christmas gifts. The kids were so anxious to see the puppies again, but there were certainly some tears when it was time to say goodbye.





Poor Lyda had the hardest time saying goodbye to the puppies.
