Our table was set for Christmas Eve and as you can see Chippy Stinkypants was there too, right in the center. He joined us for dinner since it was the last night in our home before he had to return to the North Pole until next year.
Kisses for ChippyStinkypants (nobody can touch him or he will lose his magic)!
As you all can see, the Pudge was dressed in his Steeler gear while making our traditional Schnitzelfest dinner. This year we were lucky enough to have a Steeler game to watch on Christmas Eve, that does not happen very often and since I love the Steelers so very much, I was really excited!
Let the feast begin!
Christmas would not be complete with out all of my Great-Grandma's cookies. Mommy made Omas Spitzbuben and Vanillekipferl and Sal Long's Chocolate Chip Cookies - YUMMY!
Mommy did a really bad job taking pictures this year - shame on you Mommy. We don't have any really good family pictures. (Not pictured here are Nana Banana, aka Banana Banana and Choozie). It was really nice to have Nana here this year. It is the first time in my life I got to celebrate Christmas with her on the actual holiday. Now there is a tradition worth keeping for sure. Sadly in comes along with the loss of my Great Nana that always remains in our family's hearts and Prayers.
Since Christmas is also Baby Jesus's birthday, we celebrated by singing and having a cupcake.
Cookies for Santa - Sal Long's Chocolate Chip, should be a big hit!
My presents from Santa!!!!!!
Scooby Doo House, yeah for Chippy Stinkypants delivering the message!!!!
Pudgy got Choozie a hoodie footie that was HUGE - so he thought it would be funny to try it on...
Then Daddy decided to dare Pudgy to wear it all the way to Pittsburgh. Pudgy would never turn down a dare like that!
Mommy and Daddy brought me to Pittsburgh the day after Christmas to celebrate with my Great-Grandparents Sal Long and Ray Long and other special members of my Family. I have been to Pittsburgh before but, never for Christmas. Mommy said that it was really special to her and it may just be a new tradition. We were able to see so many people in our Family. She said it almost felt like the old days when Pittsburgh was where she Celebrated Christmas for most of her life.
Christmas at Sal Long and Ray Longs House. Wow so many presents
Just chilling with Ray Long!
Playing with my Train Set from Sal Long and Ray Long! I LOVE it!
My first visit to the "O" (the Original Hotdog). Pudgy tells me that this one of his favorite haunts. The Dogs are great and Check out the French Fries.
My Great Uncle and Aunt Jimmy and Jilly. It was so wonderful to see them, I had not seen them since I was a baby so this is one Christmas tradition that we MUST keep!
Pudgy, Jimsche, Tommy
We also got to see my second Cousin and her husband, Melissa and Roy! Again, another great tradition.
