Christmas Eve

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...........Rick has a tradition of reading The Night Before Christmas to the boys on Christmas Eve.

We get a new family game to unwrap and play. This year the game was Cootie. We invited our neighbor Mae over to share Christmas Eve with us. We ended up staying up much later than normal........she was enjoying herself so much that we just continued on and had fun.
We also have a tradition of getting new Christmas jammies. The boys are sporting theirs. Before playing our new game we had hot chocolate and I told the story of our Savior's birth with our nativity set. Then we talked about why we celebrate Christmas and what it means to us.
Before heading to bed the boys made sure they took good care of Santa and his reindeer. They left out yummy gingerbread cookies, hot chocolate, a carrot, and letters. We had a great night : )
