Christmas Eve at Brenna's

Christmas Eve was celebrated at Brenna's this year. Keeping with tradition, we had soup and corn bread. This year it was celebrated with the Paoletti's and the Pizzino Family. Uncle Phil was able to leave the facility with Aunt Jo. It was the "Italian way" so to speak. Everyone eats with their mouth open while talking....an old Italian custom.

UM....What is Grammy drinking? Honest it's fruit punch!

Kevin and Jolly Ole" Grammy
Uncle Phil just loved baby Kardin.
The boys introduced Uncle Phil to Wii. Or so we thought. Later, after Brenna took up collections through several contacts to get one for his facility, we found out that the facility has a Wii which Uncle Phil plays all the time.

Also, keeping with tradition of looking at Christmas lights on Christmas Eve in new P.J.s....A tradition we have had since all the children were very small and continued even as they grew and were married

All adult Irwin Children and spouses received the best P.J.'s ever! P.J.'s with Christmas lights.

It was a fun night. Ro worked for a very long time giving the best gifts ever (besides the P.J.'s). She managed to do memory scrapbooks for all. Including Grammy who got a scrapbook calander. Kim and Jeff, and Brenna and Scott received their Wedding Album scrapbooks. They took the longest, but they turned out so beautiful. Kevin got a scrapbook of Winslow his dog. And all the grandkids received a memory book . Making all these books was truely a memory for Ro.
