punk and i went to christmas eve mass and then stopped at mom & dad's. connie & tom came over, emma gave connie her ornament and connie gave punk a dairy queen "credit card"... "my favorite!" =) then we came home to continue the tradition of opening up one gift (xmas pj's), making cookies for santa, setting everything out, reading twas the night before xmas... and then off to bed. (pictures tell it all)
