Christmas Eve landed on a Sunday this year, so our usual ice skating and eating out (which the girls claim needs to be Mexican food) was not an option. Church was only an hour(which was nice), and the kids still got to open their jammies.
We then started a new tradition...a Christmas Eve Talent Show. I was so happy that everyone was excited about it and willingly participated (I was worried). It was a lot of fun.
The girls did a piano/ukulele duet (and a very loud O Holy Night duet)
Tyson did a card trick
Summer sand Rudolph (and played the triangle)
I played my flute and Mike told some jokes
Then we started another new tradition (I LOVE traditions:)) of watching a Christmas movie--this year we waited for Summer to go to bed and watched It's A Wonderful Life. The kids hated it, but I LOVE it--but I may let them pick something different next year so I don't have to listen to them complain the entire time.
Summer left milk and cookies for Santa before going to bed.
Then right before we all went to bed, it started snowing.
And Santa came.
