Christmas Eve

What an awesome treat that my mom and Bill came to Houston for Christmas!  We had all of the Murphy clan over for Christmas Eve.  When my grandmother was still alive, we always did Christmas Eve at Nana and Big Jim's house.  It was fun to bring back the old tradition.

 Aunt Murf's GIANT gift to the girls!  She said all Texas girls need their own pony :)

Loot before Santa Arrived

 All of the Murphy clan: Uncle Matt, Big Jim, Nana, Papa Bill, Eliza, SSR, Uncle Bob, Aunt Murf, MPR and Olivia

 Big Jim's unbelievable beef tenderloin.  After grilling it, he wraps it in foil and newspaper and it is, oh so moist!
