Christmas Eve traditions old & new






It was so fun watching Marlee open up a present. She loved tearing the wrapping paper & tried eating it.


Their pj's were from Grandma Lucy & it was fun having her here to see the kids open them. Clayton got Spinderman, Porter got Mario, & Marlee got princess pj's.



The kids love Uncle Jonny


The kids got their boxing gloves out & even Marlee got a turn


Here is Jonathan putting Marlees gloves on


And here is Marlee "beating up" Uncle Jonathan



Treats for Santa & his reindeer


On Christmas Eve before the kids go to bed they open up pj's & wear them to bed that night. We also get each child their own ortament every year. And we read in the Bible about the birth of Jesus. Then we leave out treats for Santa & his reindeer. This year we started a new tradition for Christmas Eve dinner: we had prime rib-eye steaks, yummy side dishes, & apple sodas. Lucy & Jonathan came & joined us for the evening.
