Dave Kotinsky/Getty ImagesIt was a very happy holiday for Teresa Giudice.
Just a day after getting out of prison early after serving serving 11 months behind bars for fraud, the 43-year-old star of Bravo's Real Housewives of New Jersey spent Christmas Eve not only with husband Joe Giudice and their four daughters but also with her brother Joe Gorga and wife Melissa Gorga, her co-stars, and their three children.
"'It was a really nice night," a source told E! News.
Bravo cameras were rolling throughout the evening, E! News has learned.
On the day of Teresa's release, Melissa, 36, shared a sweet message on Twitter.
"With Christmas comes miracles," she wrote. "Welcome home."
During the Christmas Eve dinner, some carolers stopped by to bring some more holiday cheer.
Teresa was released from prison on Wednesday and must now remain on home confinement, wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet, until Feb. 5., her original early release date. She will be allowed to work, her lawyer has said.
Teresa's family reunion is bittersweet, as this will be the last Christmas she'll spend with her husband for a while. Joe, who was indicted with her, is set to begin a 41-month prison sentence in March.
