one of the family traditions we started in flagstaff, was a christmas eve dinner. this year it had to be on christmas eve, eve since the 24th was to be with dave's family.
the kids insist the menu includes ham, so dave can make the leftovers into ham and potato soup (aka "christmas soup").
this year, abe and kai were giving their friends fake mustaches for christmas. they had a few extras that became christmas dinner attire.
"merry christmas-tache!!!"
on our anniversary get-awaty, i found these cute plates on clearance at west elm. i loved them so much, mainly because our kids have a penguin fetish.
dave bought them for me for our happy anniversary.

we got the goblets for our wedding and the plates for our 16th anniversay.
abe did the honors of lighting the candles, since this is always a candle light dinner.
abe wore his mustache the whole dinner...it made his napoleon dynamite quotes so much more entertaining.
ready to eat!!!
