Christmas Eve~

So, we headed out to the Luiz's for Christmas eve. We arrived just before 6. I started taking pictures of the tree.....
then the entire lights went out, not just blew a fuse went out, but the entire block went out. So I have Peanut call Nana and Pop while we are lighting candles to see if it is up there way as well. They are only a few blocks from the Luiz house. Well, Nana and Pop are out as well. We hadn't started dinner yet, Cay was cooking some pecan bars, so the dinner was on hold.

Ken, didn't budge much. Thought the lights were out, nothing to do....

He didn't either.

Peanut and Kaylee went to her room to hang out in the dark.

The rest of us decided that since we have no dinner, we will eat chips and dip. I had brought Chile cheese dip, Dorothy had made fresh salsa and Cay had made a guacamole dip. So to the table for chips we went.

and again...

Bugg really wanted to open presents, so she and Michelle were reading magazines by candle light.

So we decide, this might take a while and in the mean time; Eric finds that his grill is out of propane, so we can't really finish the dinner on the grill either. What else is there to do??? Open presents.

let's start with the girls...

Michelle made out like a bandit, a new laptop and a bag for it...

Peanut got some boots...
